Excellent information! Thank you for putting it out there. Just one more thing, could you do a video showing the routine maintenance and expedition-type overhaul / repair of these stoves? I sure would appreciate it and I think it would contribute a great deal for serious users of this stove. Thanks!

Primus pump has a filter on the little hose as well. Look for it in the bottle as it tend to come off like the hose.

Why not wait to pressure up the bottle AFTER you make the connection?

can you try these pumps on msr windpro and make a review of that?
@Thereal111t5 жыл бұрын
It’s interesting I’ve recently seen people faulting the Optimus pump for not having a tank side butane shutoff. This means the contents of the hose are wasted. In gas feed mode that’s not much but it’d be more in liquid mode. I have a question for you... what I’ve always done is wait for the pump to be attached to the hose before pumping. It seems to solve the squirting fuel problem for me.

Okay Jiujitsu, you own and have used the Primus, MSR Universal, and Optimus stoves. My question is, if you have all three setting on the table and you're heading out on a two/three night backpacker, which one do you grab and shove in your pack??

now if they put the off valve on the all medal pump it would be a winner

Can the supply line and valve be removed from the polaris to help pack it down? Or could it be modded to be removable? Just curious.
@cubul324 жыл бұрын
I heard the Optimus fuel line is soft so when it's full, and you burn a little and you put it in off it still sips fuel out of the can because it sink in fuel. Is this true? Can you put the can upside down to take care of this?
@cubul324 жыл бұрын
Couldn't you pressurize the bottle for a Primus AFTER you screw it in? That way you wouldn't squirt fuel out?

I have this stove. I fucking love it!!!!!! But i didnt always lol. I got it for xmas last year and after about 2 months, the pump took at shit. I called Optimus and told them about my pump, i sent it back to them and they emailed me with the details regarding my pump and then they sent me another brand new pump and it has worked perfectly since then. Total time from when i mailed it till i received my new pump was 2 weeks so i gotta say it was pretty fast to.

JIUJITSU2000 Oh thats lucky... My pump wasnt pumping any air into the bottle. I literally could pump it 100 times (i actually counted) and it was no difference than 20 pumps.. I took apart the bottom end of the pump to check the spring but there wasnt anything wrong.
@nicholascramer45234 жыл бұрын
Sir, a question - I really like the optimus pump over my plastic primus ergopump. If i use the optimus pump on my primus omnifuel, I will have two on/off valves next to each other which would be pointless. Will the optimus fuel line fit into the side of the primus omnifuel? This would make the optimus pump compatible with the primus omnifuel. Cheers
