About to try Kero for the first time, sorry to all for changing the subject of my original question. Do I need to let the tank on my Optimus...

Agreed, I have an Optimus Hiker Plus, Optimus Polaris, Primus Omnilite Ti and the marine version of the MSR XGK EX. All can take kerosene (a...
I have a few that can, but never ran kerosene on them. Will try one tomorrow, hope I like the end result.
