Yep, my new Fyrestorm pump came in and it was cracked in the same place! Old Coleman Parts stood behind their pumps... the owner called me after...
That IS a beautiful stove... a product of a time when ruthless efficiency and practicality wasn't all, when aesthetics were valued as much as...
It's obvious that the parts are made in China, assembled in Estonia, and the finance, sales, marketing, etc., are done in Sweden. Looking at the...
Aluminum makes for a good radiator. I would think that a thin tube, thicker than the factory, but solid instead of made from a tack-welded strip...
As long as it's the right diameter, the right height (so the generator assembly fits unmodified), and you drill enough holes for the burner's...
Could your 550B that leak be losing pressure through the check valve/pump assembly? The rotating shaft inside the pump is meant to be a backup to...
This is because the jet (opening at the burner end) in the gas generator is too big. I've examined the kero generator on a 550B... the generator...
If you think about how the Svea 123 stove works, with fuel burning on top of the fount to heat the fuel inside and increase pressure in lieu of a...

Yep... Coleman Camp Fuel runs around $12/gallon at Walmart, and the Crown stove fuel which is just about the same stuff runs about $8. K-1...
I've played a little with Coleman stoves and kerosene/Coleman fuel mixes. The short answer: you can burn a kero mix without significant issues...
Well, upon closer inspection in daylight, I can see that the pump body itself is cracked where the hose joins it... and that is the source of the...
Here I am, years later again... but the 400 and 400a had separate valves for flame control and fuel control. The 400B introduced the evaporator...
I know this thread is way old... but I bought an Apex II off of eBay. The fuel line leaks at the pump, so I'm wondering if it's the line or the...
I have a 442, from 1997, and am the original owner. This stove has always worked flawlessly... the only problems I've had have been user error. I...
Thanks... yep, in Bellevue close to COVID-19 ground zero here in WA state... sigh...
With respect to the 550 and 400, you can do what the military refers to as IRAN, inspect, repair as necessary, or you can just fire them up and...
