Apr 29, 2010 - This old 502 stove brings back memories. Years ago, I used to carry this heavy stove in my backpack. It had a tendency to blow up. I remember having to deal with flames that were 4 feet high.

Aug 10, 2010 - I just recieved a 442 stove today off ebay. When I went to pump extra pressure in the tank after lighting it, fuel squirted out of the little hole on the pump handle. My hand was soaked with petrol but luckily didn't set fire. I found it quite disconcerting. Could it be something I'm doing wrong or is the stove faulty? It also seems to burn for a long time with a small flame after turning the lever to the off position (about 3 minutes).

Aug 18, 2010 - Bit of info' to help....the flame glow after turning stove off should be due to the fact there is still air pressure with fuel vapour in the pipe beyond the switch i.e. from switch to flame element where you place pot/pan/cup on burner. The warmer the weather the longer flame will take to fully exstinguish 1-2 mins. Plus make sure the switch (without forcing) is fully tilted to the off where the little metal protrussion is. Cheers

Even a couple of seconds' gas flow without ignition can make it flood, then it takes ages to settle.

Jan 11, 2011 - Having a small flame linger after shutting off the fuel valve is normal with all liquid fuel stove or lantern. Expect a small flame will linger for up to 3 minutes after turning off the device. This is due to fuel and air still remaining in the pipe lines and in the generator beyond the shut-off valve and it needs to fully burn up before it extinguished itself. Fuel squiring out of the pump hole is not normal and I can only guess that the pump cups need to be replaced. Good luck.

Apr 17, 2011 - Good video, The two burner stove segment, you don't need to spin the air valvearound, it only lets air in to help with a cold start, there is no tip cleaner mechanism attached to that lever.

Apr 21, 2011 - The 501 was/is the dangerous stove; the 502 is fine.

RSOPVIDEOS Says:

Nov 8, 2011 - depends on model. Some can use white gas.

SansAuthoritas Says:

Feb 5, 2012 - I know this is a year late, but the fuel squirting out the pump handle sounds like a stuck check valve. This can be a very dangerous thing, and you need to fix it. Check out a Coleman collector's site for instructions. It can usually be fixed by adding one of a few different automotive de-gumming agents.
