Stoopid problem.

That tank looks ancient and from what I read the safety what-cha-ma-call-it was plugged.

Around here they are used in rail switchyards in winter to prevent switches from freezing

Yes, they were also used at road construction sites as a warning for motorists, much as traffic cones and barrels are used today. In the past, there was no such thing as a reflective device and the lit smudge pots were the warning lights for drivers. They used kerosene for fuel. A wick was used to bring the fuel up to the top of the smudge pot where it burned. They came in many shapes but the ones I remember looked like cannon balls with a lit fuse.:D
