Ayuh,...... Welcome Aboard,....... Never seen a coleman lantern tank used, but many hyd. steering systems use a pressurized oil tank,.....

In many applications, there's no place, Above the helm to mount a gravity feed tank, so the tank is pressurized to feed oil into the system,......
The pressure isn't much, just enough to move the oil from below, to above the helm,.....
