As "We know" under that name was a few similar constructions with differencies. two type of pumps (older and newer) a few bottles two burners two wrenches ----------- APG versions - is cheapest now in set: biggest bottle pour wrench good burner small windshield --------- work: my example is "near new" - works two weeks in Georgia at 4000 m. on autofuel. My test's: - nipple seems to be little too big on autofuel, stove needs circa 10 minutes to constant blue flame on gas - working perfect ----------- I am not sure is it good idea to storage/transport pump in bottle with fuel but i've seen only 1 example of pump transport box...? It its good idea - after work on liquid - burn on gas to clean generator.
The short squat tank is interesting. I do like.the 8A, just wish I hadn't tried kero in it to be honest, only because it's damn difficult to get the silly pricker anywhere near the nipple. Grrr
Thanks @gieorgijewski for your comments on this stove. Nice idea to have the pump in a transport box.
A few questions for 8a owners: Did We know nipple diameters? 4,5 kW power - IMO on kerosene - on autofuel? ---------- APG instruction is enigmatic - in other versions is anu technical data?
@gieorgijewski Just a quick comment as I'll not get an opportunity to look at mine in detail for a week or so. After the rather failed kerosene test and the nipple as supplied leaking I managed to shear it off so had to order spares, they are cheap and available in a variety of sizes, and I'm unsure what size I have currently fitted. My plan is to modify the pre heat tube arrangement at some point to give better thermal conductivity for kerosene. Something a bit more engineered than wrapping copper wire around. As a gas and naphtha burner they work well, I suppose a burn through with gas on mine should clear some of the carbon out, but it's getting the damn pricker near the jet when working is the PITA.
The nipples/jets available for the BRS 8/8A and 12/12A are these: #30 for Kerosene? #33 for Gasoline/Kerosene? #35 for Gasoline? I have not been able to measure the apertures on them and the question marks are because of what my guess is. Michael
thanks -------------------- ok ... it is possible to be done but pre heat tube mounting in that burner is not acceptable as "multifuel" function original wrench is "for nothing" in "change nipple" task moore - to dismounting "You" need special wrench but - mounting - even with that tool was very difficult ---------- pre heat tube shape/design - makes this burner "one nipple" - "as is" if tube was 10/14 mm longer with "any angle in burner center" it will be as is declared in instruction.
Agree completely with everything there @gieorgijewski. Brass tube is available online, and a car brake pipe bender might get the tube geometry to stay within the flame for longer, rather than just at 2 points as it is at the moment.
Hi, I see a few of these turning up on the New Zealand market, slightly different as in they are type 2. I was wondering about the wind shield, pot set, can you still buy them as I have what looks similar but the heat at sometime has melted some of the lower housing. Regards Tony
