Product Information

Full details

The Primus Power Fuel is designed for serious outdoor enthusiasts and expedition travelers who rely on liquid-fuel stoves for high-performance cooking in challenging environments. It delivers clean, efficient, and consistent heat regardless of the ambient temperature, making it ideal for melting snow or boiling water in alpine conditions. A critical caveat is that this product is strictly formulated for pressurized liquid-fuel stoves and is not compatible with open-container spirit burners, such as traditional Trangia stoves.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this fuel in a Trangia spirit burner?

No. This fuel is for pressurized liquid stoves only. It is too volatile and hazardous for open-container spirit burners.

How should I dispose of an empty fuel tin?

Ensure the tin is completely empty, then follow your local recycling guidelines for metal containers. Do not puncture or incinerate the tin.

Is this fuel shelf-stable?

When kept in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, the fuel can remain effective for a long period, though it is best to rotate your stock if you store it for over a year.

Does this fuel work at high altitudes?

Yes, it is highly effective at high altitudes where the lower oxygen levels and colder temperatures typically cause gas-canister stoves to lose efficiency.

Can I mix this with other fuels?

It is strongly recommended to use only the fuel type your stove was specifically designed and tested for. Mixing fuels can alter the combustion properties and clog the stove jet.

Troubleshooting

Stove flame is flickering or unstable

Ensure the fuel bottle is properly pressurized. If the pump has been used extensively, check the leather cup or pump seal for wear.

Soot buildup on the burner head

While this fuel is clean-burning, ensure you are priming the stove correctly. Insufficient priming can cause incomplete combustion initially, leading to soot.

Fuel leak at the bottle connection

Immediately depressurize the system and check if the pump O-ring is seated correctly or if it has become brittle and requires replacement.

Pros and Cons

Excellent reliability in freezing temperatures
High energy density for long expeditions
Burns cleaner than standard automotive fuels
Consistent fuel flow even in high-altitude conditions

Cons

Not compatible with open spirit burners
Requires careful handling due to flammable nature
Heavier than gas canisters for shorter trips

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use this fuel, ensure you have a compatible liquid-fuel stove, such as those in the Primus OmniFuel or MultiFuel series. Always use a fuel bottle specifically designed for these stoves.

Filling: Pour the fuel into the fuel bottle, leaving at least 15-20% empty space for air pressurization.
Connecting: Securely attach the fuel pump to the bottle and tighten the connection to the stove hose.
Safety: Never store or transport the fuel bottle with the pump connected and under pressure.
Storage: Keep the bottle in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or open flames. Ensure the cap is sealed tightly to prevent evaporation.
Maintenance: Regularly check the O-rings on your fuel pump to ensure a tight seal, as degraded rubber can lead to leaks.
