Courtesy of Jan Rømsgaard Storage can for petrol - described in a 1947 catalogue as practical & explosion-free!
I can also ad (maybe obvious, but since i havent seen it been mensioned here) that this Primus storrage can has an resilient filling spout.
Hi @Oskarsweden What a beautiful item and great photo presentation. What is the principle by which it achieves its explosion-proof property? Is the tank filled with a metal mesh or does it perhaps employ a tight roll of fabric wadding (as Pigeon explosive-proof lamps use) ? Best Regards, Kerophile.
Thanks Kerophile Sorry, i dont know what principle which it achieves its explosion-proof property. I ad two more photos, hopefully they can help someone to understand Best regards Oskar.
Hi @Oskarsweden thank you for providing additional photos. The tank of the petrol container appears to be filled with a tightly-rolled woven fabric mesh. This will act a s a flame arrestor preventing a flame front from travelling through the air and liquid contents of the tank in the event of an accident. The Pigeon Lamp used a tightly-rolled felt, made from natural fibres, to pack its tank. https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/lampes-pigeon.6269/#post-56567 Best Regards, Kerophile.
And thank you Kerophile for sharing your knowledge in these different constructions with everyone Best regards Oskar.
