The ultimate post apocalyptic stove!

You know what shocks me given how long the multi fuel stoves have been around, and there isn't head to head tests, cocktails, recipes on different fuels...
Imagine trying to use heavier fuels like paraffin/kerosene/diesel in Canada where these things may not be liquid all year around...

Rubbing alcohol... Gee along the post apocalyptic theme, I would have thought ethanol would be the ubiquitous solvent easy to make...
But we have what we have.

Glad someone did some tests,

I've burned various fuels in pressurized stoves and it took a bit to understand which jet orifice would give the best results to match the BTU of the fuel. I have a 533 and it's a fixed jet size, so it's picky. To burn kerosene in a Coleman I watched a video by a fellow who wrapped the generator with solid copper wire from household wiring to increase the preheat mass. He was able to get the flame under control all the way down to a simmer. That was pretty impressive.

In order for the alcohol to work the fuel jet orifice would need to be twice as big as the gasoline or Coleman fuel orifice just as if pure alcohol is used in a car. That might be an interesting experiment as well. I drilled out the gas orifice to twice the size in my MSR Whisperlite International and with a draft control on the air intake can run alcohol in that stove very well. I brazed a handle on the draft control so I can adjust the amount of air and can still fold the stove up as normal. I got a valve and hose off of a cheap butane stove and can run butane as well as kerosene, jet fuel, et. al. Thanks for the experiment here. I guess I won't be running alcohol in my Coleman one burner stove.

Thank you for doing these tests. I just ordered a 533 and now I know what fuels it will run on, and how well. Very well done.

[TheWtfnonamez]

Thank you.
I have a variation of this stove and a variety of fuels, but no gasoline. Makes me appreciate that maybe getting a litre or two unleaded might make my stove last longer.

I have one of these that I ran on a 50:50 mix of old gas and varsol (mineral spirits). It smelled a bit but it burned cleanly and very hot. These are virtually identical to the 508 stoves and use the same generators. I have both and they are equal as far as I have seen. If I run gasoline I always add a couple of tbsp of seafoam to the tank and when done and putting it into storage I like to run carb cleaner through it for a minute and then follow with coleman fuel. A little bit of maintenance and these things will literally last decades with no repairs needed.

Nice video. Thanks for sharing the comparison between different fuels. Very methodical.

I have had to buy 3 generators in the last 3 months running on unleaded petrol and try as I might with all sorts of methods you cannot clean them out. From new and after about 10 times it starts to play up and by 15 times it's clogged. The thin wire that goes through it becomes solid, I managed to free one of the wires up but it still won't light. I contacted Coleman to complain and they said I should use Coleman fuel every third time which was news to me. I'm loath to buy any more at £23.00 per item. Coleman fuel is far too expensive so beware if you're using unleaded petrol.

With ethanol you can make the flames visible with rubbing the Stove with salt water and let it dry. The flame will heat up salt (NaCl) residues, catch a few Na Atoms, and the Flame will become yellow.
Beware of rust though.

Excellent video...this info is exactly was I was looking for: what fuel, time and amount 👍👍👍

[OutsideTheTargetDemographic]

Thanks for the video. I got bit by the alcohol stove bug, making a few that are....less than reliable. I saw this pressurized multi stove and figured it could run on cheap rubbing alcohol too, with better reliability due to the pressurization, with the benefit of running other fuels too.👍

[OWK]

Interesting. I have seen different results on a different video, but then you were using Coleman Premium Blend fuel and the other guy was using just regular old can of Coleman Camping Fuel and also a fresh can of Crown White Gas. His water boiled quickest with low octane gasoline. What I was most impressed with was that it took significantly LESS Coleman Premium Blend Fuel to do the job. Gasoline fumes more making it more dangerous. I camped for 3 months with a single burner white gas stove, cooking for just myself, and never even used a whole gallon of the white gas.

[williamforbes]

Thanks for making the video, I don't think such a short exposure to alcohol will ruin your seals as you followed that up with other fuels effectively rinsing them clean. Might be worth checking before an outing. Again I really took a lot from this post. Cheers

[AntonioLozano-ns]

Thank you.
I have a question. I received 2 new ones but wont burn, it leaks from under the burner . Im using kerosene, what am i doing wrong?
Thx

[moriver]

I'm in the market for one of these as a backup for the propane stove in my boat and for camping when out of the boat. Great demo, but I've only used the white Coleman gas on my lantern and dual burner stove. Thanks

[GreatPlainsChaser]

I'll bet you could make an adapter for the fill hole and feed propane to use as another fuel alternative. My dad used to have a Coleman duel fuel 3 burner stove, and he had an adapter that I'm not sure if he bought it or made custom, but we used propane, and that gas was already pressurized from the propane tank.

[pakofishing]

Hi, the other day I've seen a guy using petrol (simple unleaded bought at petrol ⛽️)...is that safe or would you recommend for example heating oil/karosene a better choice?

[jd]

If you prime the stove it starts and runs well on rubbing alcohol and kero.

[michaeldavison]

I think the Coleman fuel only flamed at the beginning because of the leftover Kerosene in the generator/burner.

[BBQDad]

Thank you for this excellent comparison. It looks like Coleman fuel is the way to go for me.
