I am sitting here trying to find if Finn.no has a “report” function to alert the platform to the seller’s use of the photos.
@kerophile - right you are! How odd. By the assembly in the (hopefully) genuine pictures, it would seem that the seller has never lit a kerosene...
These still come up every now and then: Vintage primus Optimus 00 camper messing sweden My first question is: Worth buying for the collection...
@SveaSizzler - I didn’t know any of this, thank you for sharing! As with so many major and minor events in history, they are often celebrated as...
[ATTACH] Interesting, thank you. Mine has a similar waisting of the riser, but perhaps not quite as prominent as yours, see photo. Best regards T
Hi @Sedgman - my bad, 10cm3 is 10dl or one litlre, of course. I never gave it much thought whether the pint size was UK or US pint, but having...
@kerophile - instructions posted in the Reference section under Portugal. I noted from the instructions that the good people at Hipolito SARL...
Hi, @SveaSizzler - You are absolutely right, even if I do not recognise your conversion of the UK pint to Litres (I went to university in the UK,...

I have to say, I am quite impressed with the Hipolito. I bought it purely because it comes from the last of the European manufacturers of brass...
...and, even at 3/4 filling level (any level, really), the Hipo still contains about 10% more than the Optimus.
@Ed Winskill - thanks, i thought it had to be. Interesting still, how much the difference is; When camping, without additional fuel, I could...
apologies, there was some text that went missing above. Before "The results?", I meant to write: ..save the air loft around the riser tube and...
I decided to geek out and get to the bottom of the true tank volume of some different 1 pint stoves, after I noticed that my 1 pint stoves seemed...
Thank you @kerophile - I just did, but with fuel, so I don't have to dry out the stoves later. So, gentlemen, do you wonder what the answer is?...
Thank you @kerophile . I have no reason not to believe the manufacturer's specs, and I am but a novice here. I always believed that the labeling...
Thanks for your commments. Considering the age of the original owner, I think it is safe to assume this stove is from the mid-70s. @kerophile -...
