I just cleaned and overhauled one of my most used Whisperlites, a shaker jet made in 1994. It kept popping and jumping to underburn, until I...
This is interesting. A high performance pressurized alcohol burner. Is there any reason methyl hydrate would not work? I share the concern re...
If I could I would buy Aspen 4 in a 200 litre drum(45 gallons for you southerners.) It is quite cost efficient. But, I don’t have a forklift, own...
Coleman fuel is much better than regular gasoline for safety. Aspen4 is better yet. There is a lot of good information explaining the chemistry....
Aspen4 is straight alkylated gasoline, for 4 stroke engines. Aspen2 has oil mixed in, for 2 strokes. For stoves, use Aspen 4. Lots of modern...

Thanks Remus for posting this idea! It look like the cap sits on the burner bell of the Svea. Would it be possible to wire it there, instead of...
Today I received 2 leather pump cups from the Fettlebox. Spiritburner generously sent them free,to test. They are 16 mm diameter, for Tilley...
Thank you everyone for you responses. I have measured my examples as carefully as I can. Here are the dimensions: The hole diameter: 6mm on all...
Thanks Spiritburner. Is Fettlebox able to supply a pump cup for an MSR?
Sefaudii has replied to my email. He doesn’t make Msr pump cups, as he has never had one. He thinks an Optimus Nova cup might work but needs some...
Good observation Arch. Leather fails slowly.
Hi PW, Leather cups are durable and rarely wear out. They can be revived, and are very reliable. They can be revived without needing a replacement...
Thanks Doc. I have emailed him already
I have emailed MSR. The Arctic pump includes a leather cup, although no parts are listed on their website. I have asked to buy some . MSR only...
