Does this use a pump to pressurize the fuel and how often do you have to pump it if so?

yes you pump it to pressurize it, go light well over half an hour or longer

If it is full then pump it 10/15 times. As the fuel burns and if the light starts to dim, go back and pump it again 10/15 times. You can't over pump it because the plunger will not go down anymore because of the back pressure. Hope this helps. PS: Besure your thump covers the hole on the plunger as you pump it.

I have owned several different types of pressurized lanterns. This was the first Coleman kerosene powered lantern that I owned. You have to do approximately 30 pumps from empty. and then give it at least another 15 when you get it running. This is for maximum output. you can cheat in some ways you can buy An adapter for the filler cap that will allow you to fill it with a bicycle pump

I will be honest, I don't remember as I purchased it over 2 years ago! It probably had a pump with it or usually any hand pump works.. The good news is, we still have it, use it and haven't had to repump it!! And we still love it!!

The pump is automatic, onceIt fills up, it automatically pumps it out. Or u can do it manually..

The closer to full the tank is, the fewer pumps it takes. For a full tank, it takes me about 20 pumps to fully pressurize the tank.

No, it does not require a pump, it comes inflated but it won't likely stay inflated long! I bought 2 and both went flat in less than a week and there is no way to re-inflate them.

Sorry...I haven't used my pump yet....Are you pumping Diesel Fuel? I don't think it is made to pump gasoline...I think it has to be lubricated by what it is pumping.

No, it doesn't. If you do use a pump, my suggestion is only blow it up part way and finish the rest on your own.

No, this does not come with a fuel pump. You should be able to transfer it, but you would want to check with Briggs to make sure it's compatible.

Yes it does require a pump to inflate it, it's huge it can practically take me down the river me on it.

If you need a lot of pressure you can use this. It wouldn't take long for it to go through 5 gallons. Are you going to turn the pump on only when cleaning? Or will it run consistently?

i would not use it for fuel. mainly because you will be pumping fumes out and I consider that a fire/explosion hazard.

Yes. It uses the pressurized cans with the nozzle, it fuels in seconds with no mess.

No it does not come with a pump. I would suggest an electric pump. A manual pump would still be time consuming and very tiresome. A pump is a must!!

It does not come with a pump, but I have blown mine up with my own lung power. It only takes me about 15 minutes to blow one up. I have read that others have successfully filled them with bicycle tire pumps, but I have not tried that. I hope this helps.

I did have the pump hooked up to a pressure tank for a short period of time and it worked fine. I don't know about prolonged use.

No. I pump it 3 to 4 times, and spray until I notice a decrease in spray intensity. When the intensity decreases I pump again. Also, I usually stop pumping when I notice resistance (or back pressure) from the pumping handle.

It does require continuous pumping...quite the work out on the arms...not a big fan. I did find that I could pinch the balloon while I rested and then start pumping again. But either way it is too much fuss.
