OK, so the Universal may have an edge when it comes to burning kero. Seems to be more available locally as well, and the two versions are priced...
Hi. I'm considering getting a MSR Whisperlite International or Universal (whichever is the cheapest - I'll only use liquid fuel anyway), mainly as...
Thanks. Quite a dramatic effect from the increased sensitivity in this case! I've read about the various techniques for restoring "lipsticks", so...
Yes, I have also suspected a slightly enlarged nozzle, as there are some yellow tips even when using the standard roarer burner. Nothing I can't...
It looks exactly like the one shown in the link (the underlined word "this" in the original post contains the link). The inner and outer cap are...
Hi everybody, been a looong time since I posted anyhting here... Anyway, I've just been doing some tests on a Primus 96 that I got my hands on a...
Sounds normal. My 123R burns quite a lot "rougher" than my 8R. The 123R also burns quite a bit hotter...
I agree 100%, but accidents do happen, and that's one of the things I like about the 8/111 style stoves: If I happen spill a little priming fuel,...
If I could answer those qusetions, I would be happy to do so :lol: The tank of my 8R doesn't reach 60C, but then again I would like it to burn...
I don't have much experience with the 8 (8R in my case), and you will surely get more helpful replies from other members, but for what it's...
I have been thinking about one of these steel/flint thingies, but haven't gotten around to buying one yet. I'm sure it would be easy to ignite...
Matches or a Bic type disposable. Mostly matches when priming with meths, as I find it easier to reach the primer cup with a match. If priming...
Interesting... These small self pressurising petrol stoves are quite new to me, so my experience with them is limited. However, when first firing...
If everything else fails, you could try to remove the cleaning needle, and operate the stove without it. That way, there will be nothing...
Of course! Being a foreigner I'm allowed to talk funny, right? :D I have now: Link It's more intended for a 111 than an 8, so it's probably a...
Meigthy good idea. Only trouble is, I have just one Optimus eight, so I can't participate properly in the tripple eight celebration. Meightby a...
I'm not familiar with the European market as a whole, and should probably limit my speculations to Norway or possibly the scandinavian countries....
Taxes may play a role here, but I don't believe taxes alone can explain the cost of Coleman fuel in Europe. I think most people consider Coleman a...
Sounds likely. The Statoil alkylate stuff we can buy here in Norway is sold as "environmental gasoline" intended for the same uses you mention. Knut
How about the jet dimension? If it's too large, you'll have problems. As far as I understand the 96 doesn't come with a removable jet, but rather...
