    Sorry, no. It’s not a stove I recognise. An assortment of O-ring sizes from somewhere such as Machine Mart is handy to have in for other jobs. That’s what I usually resort to for a match.

    I got this old stove some twenty years ago, and haven't used it for more then tens years. Today when I connected it to the canister the fuel leaked, the o-ring seemed to be defective. Does anyone know the spec of the o-ring of this stove?

    @Spindle
    Old thread alert!!
    I may be a bit late to the party, but your Epigas stove was known as the 3003 Pakker stove. I picked up one of those last year, new and unused and still in its (rather battered) box. IMG_20240423_094910_HDR.jpg IMG_20240423_095435.jpg
    It came with the plastic stabilising base, instruction sheet, IMG_20240423_095345.jpg and the brass adaptor to allow use with refillable 904/907 cylinders.

    Epigas made your tin can windshield mod themselves in the guise of the Back-Pakker model, which I bought in maybe 1979/80, when I ventured into cycle touring. That model had the same Pakker stove which was packed (or pakked?) inside a stainless steel circular case, 4 1/2" in diameter and 1 1/2" high, the lid of which has a 1/2" hole in the centre. The lid then fits over the burner jet and potstands to form a windshield, while the case base can be used as a small pan - it came complete with a Trangia style pot grabber and the whole lot packs into the pan and windshield case, weighing a total of 313g. It could be fuelled with a self sealing throwaway cartridge, IMG_20240423_095218.jpg available in a range of smaller sizes, by a pierceable Gaz type 200/206 cartridge fitted inside one of two styles of Epigas adaptors, or from the aforesaid 901/904/907 Gaz butane refillable cylinders by using the little brass adaptor supplied with it.

    Your Pakker doesn’t resemble the remote-canister one I started this thread with Dean, so whose stove?

    Sorry for the confusion, John. My reply was in response to message no.18 of the thread, asked by Spindle, which is why I had prompted them. Three or so muck ups in a row - perhaps it's time I gave up!

    Ah, right. No, don’t give up!
