Primus multifuel stove running on clean petrol - test run. This really is a great stove and built like a tank!!! It can run on petrol, white spirit, kerosene and even diesel /some priming problems but possible/. Great stove as it runs on aby altitude and in every condition imaginable.
Here it runs neatly in wind without any cover.

  • to each his own. I usually do not bring alcohol with me when I ride anywhere on the bike but have plenty of fuel in the tank. also having ridden a motorbike for several hours is a noisier business than cooking on any stove. my experience with alcohol burners is also they are VERY prone to wind. but as I say - do what you like.

  • just an ordinary piston pump with one springed ball valve in the end of the cylinder. hope that helps

  • GUESS!

  • try not to use it in a zoo next time. lol.

  • well, it is one of the most recognised designs in the western world. it is effective and it is loud. if you want to boil quicker and quieter go for Coleman stove or simply a Russian Shmel /Hornet/. If the size is not paramount they cost a fraction of Primus and Coleman and as far as the heat they produce is concerned they leave those expensive sisters in the dust!!! Soon I will upload a film with Shmel so you will see for yourself.

  • nice video,how long will it run on a full bottle and can you let me know,what all the fuels it can be used with.thanks

  • uh... I only used it with gasoline and white spirit but as I know it can be also used with kerosene and diesel - the only problem is that you shoud should have some other light fule for priming.

see all

  • primus sucks! ahuahuahuhua

  • Perfect example the only advantage over an alcohol stove is if you want to cook fast for a group or melt snow / cook at high altitude. The smell of gas (some always spills), the death of silence by roar (this video reminded me of that), the constant tinkering of the pump, the need for spare parts and the weight/bulk are deal killers for sure. Once you light up an alcohol stove and boil water silently and smell free in only 5 minutes doing it in 4 minutes doesn't seem that important.

  • Does any one who can give me suggestions or other option on how to repair my primus multi fuel. because the problem is the aluminum pipe tht is on top of the stove was broken. Even if i try to repair it still the air will leak and it cause the gas to leak to..

  • sir, what kind of fuel pump is that?

  • @Dorsch123 I've heard of people successfully running MultiFuel EX on rape oil and rape oil mixed with alcohol, but you would have devil's own job cleaning the stove, plus the smell of French fries is quite unbearable :-P

  • I have a old MSR XKG Mulitfuel and it is Loud like a 747 LOL

  • Hmm, don't know, seems that some care have to be taken with this and it is not that simple about after a whole day trekking.. but petrol is easy to get everywhere thats clear. It sounds
