I found 2 of these beautiful brass tanks on a very ugly otherwise old pump up kerosene? camp cooker.
Companion brand, if anyone want to look for more.(they are still going now which makes searching hard)
first photo on here hope it works

The fuel feed line goes to the bottom of the tank on the inside so im hoping to get by on a siphon system without tapping a new fuel line.
Any ingenious ideas for mounting it? I'm weighing between leather straps or some sort of copper tie.

That's pretty slick. What do you do for venting, just not lock the pump? Seems like that might need some tweeking for it to not be dangerous.

It has a breather with a small wing nut next to the fuel filler. I guess it was a pressure release for when you are finished cooking and want to store the stove. I may have to locktite the wingnut in the open position so it doesn't rattle out. (it actually a wing bolt, i guess you would call it)

If it's a pump up - it's mebbe alcohol? Not that it matters much anymore lol

Quick thought, if ya use stainless clamps/hose clamp style and ya wanna camo it real easy (& protect surfaces) I've found heat shrink tubing (usually fer wiring) works real well ;)

Or maybe white gas. I wouldn't think kerosene would use a pump. Good idea on the heat shrink.
