Upgrade your camping stove with the MSR Fuel Pump. Durable fiberglass-reinforced polymer material doubles the pump strength while keeping down overall weight. MSR's innovative valve improves flame control, so you get a more precise flame for your MSR liquid-fuel stoves.
Bottom Line: Replace your old and failing MSR liquid-fuel stove pump with MSR's lightweight, efficient Fuel Pump.
I have the dragonfly and have used maybe 4 or 5 times in the past couple years-it has worked really well. Until... Last time I was out and the plunger was not sealing and thus not pressurizing the canister when pumped.
I figure I can buy this dragonfly replacement pump OR would you suggest I try to find a replacement plunger seal first? I think there is a replacement kit but its about the same price as the new pump. What do you suggest? Thanks!
Before you start replacing parts or the entire pump, apply a small amount of petroleum jelly on the pump leather. This is the part on the end of the plunger that actually forces air in to the fuel bottle. Work the pt in, remove any excess, then pump until you get the air flowing again. The next step would be to replace the rubber o-ring where the plunger seals @ the fuel bottle. This part normally doesn't need to replaced unless it becomes brittle or cracked.
I have a Sigg firejet stove. The pump isn't working anymore. Could someone tell me if the MSR fuel pump will work with the gas line from the pump to the stove?
The best thing to do would be to take your stove to a store that sell MSR products & see if the pump is interchangeable. Take along your empty fuel bottle to make sure the threads are also compatible.
This is an improved design over the old standard. The newly designed valve adds flame control especially when simmering. The plastic material is just as substantial as aluminum, used by other manufacturers, only lighter. Good pump seal. Needs occasional lubrication.
The fuel intake on the replacement pump appears a have a fixed radius from the pump axis, which would indicate that it is designed for only one size bottle, and/or might not scavenge all the fuel. Useful info on this point will be appreciated.
What I believe you're seeing and referring to in the picture is not the fuel intake but the check valve. If you look closely, you will see a part of the fuel uptake tube on the left (more visible on the Dragonfly pump pic). This flexible line rests on the bottom of the fuel bottle, regardless of MSR fuel bottle size, when aligned for stove use. Because of this setup, less than 1/2tsp of fuel remains unused, at least in my experience, and I am neither careful nor particularly conscientious of the fuel bottle's placement on the ground.
If you are using an MSR liquid fuel stove/canister then you have to have this pump. It is not the most fun device, but it gets the job done. Just expect to get some fuel on yourself.
Am I doing something wrong with the new MSR pump? I've installed it and it leaks like a seive when the bottle is upside down. The valve is closed, the red seal is tight. The only thing left is the pump cup right? This is rubbery and seems to be free of defects. I've always used my old school gray pump, so this is new for me. Thanks
I've never had a problem with it and use it all the time. Figure out where it's leaking from and check that that part's secure, and you might want to just pony up for a new one. Leaking fuel is not a risk worth $35.

I am very disapointed in this product I paid over $40 and it did not work. I got it the day before the hike and I did not have chance to check it out first. When I took it out to use it no fuel would go to the stove. The pressure would build up in the bottle and fuel would go in the fuel line but no fuel to stove. I did take it apart to see what could be wrong. I found a lot of red plastic chips. I cleaned it out put back together and it still did not work. Thanks GOD one of the other hikers had a stove that we used. I have one of the older pumps and it works great, but it was back in CT. That is why I picked this new pump up, just for this hike out here in TX.
This pump works by pumping air in, not fuel out. Since air or gaseous fuel is much more compressible than liquid fuel, it will take longer to pressurize the emptier it gets. Seems like filling the fuel back up would tell you whether that was the problem, otherwise it's probably broken. Make sure it's screwed on right too. You will also want to be sure that the internal fuel cup in the pump is lubricated - pull it apart and put a bit of oil or spit on it to make sure it's making a good seal.
