@mr optimus , I'll second that! Quiet, easy to light, long burn time, and excellent flame control! Simple to repair as well, not like anything...
One of the larger hardware chain stores (Menard's) has free hand sanitizer in 3.5 ounce squeeze tubes. So, I grabbed the King's share for priming...
Here in the US, Bernz-O-Matic sells a copper phosphorus brazing rod for brass work. IIRC, you don't need any flux, the rod is self-cleaning....
@IRM, either cap will work just fine. I've got the three piece here, the screw holds on the chain so the cap doesn't get lost. Murph
@JP2, there's no plastic inside a 502 tank, got to be one of the easiest stoves to work on. Yes, you can burn kero in them, wrap a wire around...
@Harder D. Soerensen, those 502 founts were given a serious pressure test, given the stove works its best at 30 PSI (2.2 barr), no wonder people...
@Harder D. Soerensen , the heat drum works - but at a dangerous cost, IMO. I have one and needed the answer to the big question, can it be used...

I would think it would run well on Amish Blend or Amish mix, part kero and part CF or VM&P naptha. I'll mix them 75/25 for my Coleman 502, 520,...
I use the same thing I use on the o-rings in my air guns - DOT5 silicone brake fluid. Murph
@snwcmpr ,I KNOW there's more than one!!! :thumbup::thumbup: Waiting for @Hazet to chime in, too! Murph
