It's obvious that the parts are made in China, assembled in Estonia, and the finance, sales, marketing, etc., are done in Sweden. Looking at the...
Aluminum makes for a good radiator. I would think that a thin tube, thicker than the factory, but solid instead of made from a tack-welded strip...
As long as it's the right diameter, the right height (so the generator assembly fits unmodified), and you drill enough holes for the burner's...
Could your 550B that leak be losing pressure through the check valve/pump assembly? The rotating shaft inside the pump is meant to be a backup to...
This is because the jet (opening at the burner end) in the gas generator is too big. I've examined the kero generator on a 550B... the generator...
If you think about how the Svea 123 stove works, with fuel burning on top of the fount to heat the fuel inside and increase pressure in lieu of a...
