    Here there is another big tanker Primus, which upper part is identical to Primus 1020, but the tank is much bigger. The tank has a tube inserted on the cap hole so you can't overfuel it and preserve a minimum of air chamber.
    When I bought it it was electrocuted as you can see on the images. The wire passed through the bottom and then the fuel tube and the vapouriser, which was not the original one but from a Primus 991 (200 cp). On the top, ventilator and hood were taken from a Volcan lantern.
    So I had to repair the tank and Neil provided the missing parts: hood, complete burner, complete pricker device. I also had to de-solder the pump and resolder it in a higher position because there were stress cracks on it until some mm within the tank.
    Pity it was sand blasted but at least it wasn't severly damaged and I can re nickel it when I want.

    Thanks. I forgot to mention that the pressure gauge doesn't work; but the lantern does!
