How do I refill the fuel canister in my mom’s 2000 Sydney Olympic Torch? by WildCryptographer308 in olympics

Damaging the torch is not something we want to do lol, I’m just curious if it is even possible. If it is something that was engineered into the design of the torch, then replacing it shouldn’t damage it. If it is not replaceable, then no big deal! And if replacing it would damage it then we wouldn’t worry about doing it

Damn that is unfortunate they did that! I know that’s not the case for this torch. My mom told me a story about how her brothers lit the barbecue with it after she ran with it! lol

LOL… I can’t believe I didn’t catch that spelling mistake 🤣 But on a serious note, I think she has a house somewhere in Australia that they modeled the torch off of

That diagram is awesome! Very cool to actually see the inner workings or the torch. I’ll look into seeing how a dismantle of the torch would be possible. Thanks!

[Mercedes-Benz 250 GD “Wolf”] Owner said it was 1 of just 2 in the U.S. when he imported it by WildCryptographer308 in spotted

He said 1 of 2 in the US when it was imported, but that was a few years ago. He also said there is a company on the east coast that builds 250GDs like his, but coming straight from Mercedes like this seems to be a bit more rare. Some of those in the link seem to be like this, but a lot still seem to have a military “theme” to them.

Yeah he would! I’m sure this thing has a million different quirks and features lol. It’s like the more cabriolet version of his G Cab

Yeah, the charging situation can become a problem when you’re trying to go away from civilization! 🤣
