It is a tad heavy and larger then my other camp stoves but I can bring a quart of water to boil in a flash. It is also my backup canning stove and is more then hot enough to bring my 23 quart pressure cooker to the desired pressure twice as fast as my kitchen gas stove will.

First the leather inside the pump stem has been allowed to dry. It needs a few drops of oil on occasion. 3 in 1 oil works great. If you gently remove the little wire snap on the valve you can then gently remove the pump and take the end where the leather is located and allow it soak in about an inch of motor oil for two or so hours. Then replace. Then address the gas tank cap. Remove it and make note of the inside black gasket. Is it thin, worn down. If so either purchase a new one (Ebay) or replace it. It's a hard job but possible.

We used it for almost 2 years while living in a converted school bus down in Louisiana.(sp) The stove looks pretty much like yours did. I will have to replace parts on my fuel tank since it no longer holds pressure. My husband almost got his divorce when he tried to put gasoline in it. (He put the right kind in). I just knew it would blow us to kingdom come, but it didn't and it was so much cheaper than the Coleman fuel. What a ritual to use that thing. But it did a fine job of Christmas dinner. Thank you for the tutorial.
