Hello! Does someone know if the modern mini pumps available on ebay from Taiwan, Korea etc. advertised for Optimus 8R fit directly on a Tourist PT-1.
Example Brass mini pump+fuel cap for optimus 8R,99,111,199, svea 123, optimus eagle 1000 | eBay better prices are there but this has best picture
I just checked with mine to be sure, and they are not interchangeable. I also checked to see if the Optimus mini pump fits onto the fuel cap for the PT-1. Again, the answer is no. I know that some folks like to use a mini pump with an Optimus 8R stove, but (IMHO) it's really almost more trouble than it's worth. These stove are easy to start with a simple prime of white gas or meths, and the pump (to me, anyway) just gets in the way. ....Arch
Ok thanks for checking! I actually found on ebay someone selling ones just for PT-1 and ordered one mainly for the novelty value I like bits and bobs like that
Winter stove... PT-1 in winter ---------------- idea to convert self pressure stove to pre pressurised - could be unsafe - but if is needed could be realised... but must be needed... real possibilities of "normal/working condision" PT-1 are good enough for wide range of tasks in cold/wind weather - tank temperature is the main factor to build proper preasure
