Hello ladies and gentlemen, It's been a while since I shared anything here. SORRY. I have a coleman 2D (I guess) stove for a while now. The pump housing is broken from the inside so the tank will need to be debrazed ( I not sure if that's a word) to be fixed. Anyway, until I try to fix the tank problem I though I would give it a go with a propane converter. And it worked. So now I can use the oven with a cleaner burning propane fuel instead of unleaded gas. So I just thought I would share that with you incase someone have a problem with an older style stove tank. The propane converter works with older stoves. And of course we love photos so I have attached some. Enjoy. The setup Testing 2 Burners (will be cleaned) The oven Excuse my English and excuse my photography skills.
Sweet. I rarely use the adapters but have them in both regulated and unregulated. Unregulated adapters are getting hard to find nowadays but will make the burners go nuclear. Come to think of it, I never even took my regulated one out of the package.
I have a adapter like that on my Coleman 413. Mine is made by Stansport. It works very well. Pancakes and eggs.
Hello Jim, I have never thought that there are different, I am going to try the unregulated ones I have some lying around. Thanks for your reply. SveaSizzler, looks delicious I love this old style stoves the edges are much better than the the new ones. Yes it is a Stansport, it is the only one Walmart still selling it. Thanks for your reply.
@KARIM I think the tanks are just soldered on those, so pretty straightforward to fix. I hope you do fix the tank so you can do the "Hot Blast" warm up proceedure! Good on ya though for getting it cooking again.
@Majicwrench Are they. I am gonna get my torch running I guess. I always thought they are brazed. The hot blast start up is the fun part of these stoves. Thank for the info my friend, I will give it a try and let you know about the results.
If using a torch to solder, which I suspect you will, make certain there's no remaining fuel or fumes left in it whatsoever! Personally, I'd try a butane torch since it won't be as hot as propane, and has a more pinpoint flame.
Thanks Jim So it not as easy as I expected the solder is on the side of the tank then they bent the outer rounded tank to inside to secure it. I tried to bend it out successfully. Now I will try it find a way to take it out while heating it up. Wish me luck, I am so bad in welding business. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks all.
There was an old post on the coleman forum where a member took one of those apart. The forum has since moved, and a lot of content was lost, but it might still be there. Good on ya, looking forward to progresss
Thank you @Majicwrench I think you are referring to this post Coleman No. 2 Fuel Tank Hole Fix It is not the same tank, this one the sides are like cups and soldered from the out side. Mine in the other hand is soldered from the inside then bent. This the other side of the tank. Thanks again I will keep you posted about my progress.
