Primus OmniFuel Stove w/ ErgoPump & Fuel Bottle

Use the Primus Omnifuel Multi-Fuel Stove to quickly boil water at a high alpine pass or sauté some garlic without burning it at basecamp. Primus outfitted this durable, field-maintainable stove with an easy-to-use ErgoPump, so it excels in extreme conditions, altitudes, and temperatures. If you travel abroad, you can fill this stove's included fuel bottle with any type of fuel—LP gas, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and even aviation fuel. Primus also threw in a nylon stuff sack, wind screen, and heat reflector.

Bottom Line: Go high, go far, and enjoy a hot meal where ever you go.

There are three different orfice size jets for this stove which are designed for different fuel types. Can I use the smallest orfice jet (JET27) for all different fuel, so I don't have to change jet when switch fuel type?

This would be nice but there isn't a one jet for all fuels. This is also the reason they give you different jets for multi-fuel stoves.

The smallest jets #'s 27 & 28 are for kerosene/paraffin. Since kerosene develops most of it's BTU's from pressure, the smaller the jet orifice, the more pressure is produced inside the tank. #35 is for white gas/petrol which develops pressure much more easily, & #45 is for compressed gas canisters which are already pressurized. Therefore you will have to change jet's when changing different fuel types for optimum performance.

Case in point, it will take @ least twice as long to boil water burning white gas using the #27 jet as opposed to using the #35.

When the text says that it will burn LP gas does this mean the threaded 70/30 propane/butane canisters?

That's exactly what it means. The OmniFuel can use any Lindal valve fuel canister but not the 16.4oz green propane fuel bottle.

If you're asking where it will run on pure ethanol, then no. But if you are asking if it will run on the ethanol/gasoline mix sold as gas stations for automobiles then yeah it will burn fine.
Stoves designed for alcohol are fantastic for certain situations (simple meals, boiling water, not too cold, no snow melting, any altitude)

I agree. Bad idea! Ethanol has a higher octane rating, 129, but a lower BTU or watt (thermal power produced) rating which is what you need for boiling water. Isobutane, kerosene, & white gas burn much hotter than alcohol plus it's compression could result in an explosion mainly due to it's relatively low flash point.

Not a good idea. It would probably work, but alcohol (and ethanol) burns far hotter than most other fuels, so alcohol stoves release less fuel to cope with the temperatures. Burning alcohol in this stove would likely result in some kind of violent conflagration.

Is it all right to switch between the different types of gases

Is it all right to switch between the different types of gases at each use? Will it harm the stove?

Au contraire! Both white gas & kerosene max out @ 10K BTU's whereas isobutane/propane blends increase, at last count, to 25K BTU's. Granted stove design & gas compression does contribute overall, but you won't get as much heat out of liquid fuel @ this point in time!

It shouldn't harm the stove, but you will see various degrees of performance. Try to avoid unleaded gasoline if at all possible. I would stick with white gas (ie. coleman fuel) whenever you can. White gas is the cleanest and best performing fuel with the highest BTU rating per ounce than any other fuel type. The true benefit of a multi-fuel stove is when an emergency situation bears it's ugly head. It's also a benefit if you travel outside North America. Other than that I would stick with white gas.
