This video is a demonstration of a W.W. 2 Pocket Stove that would have been used by 1 to 3 Men to heat food while on the battlefield. It was designed to burn Gasoline that had a maximum octane rating of 70. I use Coleman Camping Fuel that is known as Petroleum Naphtha. It has an octane rating somewhere in the range of 45 to 56. It is highly flammable and burns exceptionally clean. It is also very expensive, priced from $10 to $15 per gallon. Despite the cost, Naphtha will stay fresh for a very long period of time.
Because the fuel is so volatile and the pocket stove is so efficient, it may take about 4 weeks for 1 person cooking 2 times a day to burn through an entire gallon.

Did you ever hear of a metal coat hanger? Use a piece of that on your canteen. Very informative video, thanks for posting. I would think these would be good to have if you have a storm knock out your power and you didn't have a natural gas stove. You can sit in the dark, but you need your coffee.

We have had power outages here from time to time, and YES coffee when it is cold is PARAMOUNT!!

Thanks W.W.2 Restorations, great info for me. I just found my Pocket Stove (US M 1942 MOD C-A -1945, in great condition) from my garage, Searching Camping stove just half hour ago because of black out in our area... Need to boil water for Instant Coffee;-). This stove was something what i have never used and i started search info and found Your video which help me to understand how it works. Great little equipment, now i need to find Gasoline for it and perhaps also this metal plate somewhere. Can you give me measurements of this round plate for me, so i can produce one for me? Anyway, thanks for help, great info! Cheers & Br, Guy from Finland, near by Helsinki...

Enjoyed the video, any idea where I could pick up one of those diffuser plates?

Thanks for the kind word on my video "John". You could try this guy, www.oldcolemanparts.com/, he may have one or two laying around. If you can't locate one, get back to me and I'll take some measurements of mine for you and you can have a few made.

@@w.w.2restorations.vehicles698 Thanks, I should have thought about this site. I've bought a couple of the nibs from him to get my surplus store find repaired. Is your plate the 4 inch size for the 530 stove? and stainless? Thanks again.

and which pump is more reliable for the coleman 520 or the M1942?

@w.w.2restorations.vehicles698 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry Vova, I don't know. The toys in my collection are very rarely used for their intended purpose, there for they don't gain any appreciable wear.

I'm late to this party, but the pump on the Coleman 520/M1941 is MUCH more reliable. It's the tried and true Coleman design. As with most Coleman founts, the bottom of the pump tube has air tube that extends upward into the head space above the fuel level. So, if it leaks, air comes out. On this model, and the Coleman 536/M1950 the bottom of the pump tube is immersed in liquid fuel and have a spring loaded rubber "pip" for a check valve and that's it. If/when it leaks, raw liquid fuel backs up into the pump tube. A shitty design IMO. The M1941 has the ball check AND the sealing pump stem that is a positive, metal to metal seal. If you put that pump on this stove, this would have been one of the best designs in stove history. If you are a tinkerer they're fine. But if reliability is important, the pump is a fatal flaw on this and the M1950. Otherwise, this is a near perfect stove. Really solid, all stainless construction that won't rust. A great, compact, low profile, low center of gravity, fold up unit that was ahead of its time. Except for the damn pump. But again, if you know what you're doing, the little pip can be replaced with new nitrile or viton rubber and work fine. Just keep an eye on the pump. If you see it rising on its own, that means it's filling up with fuel. Be very careful if it's running. Some fuel usually makes it past the pump leather, so when you pull it back to pump it, liquid fuel can literally spray out around the pump shaft. Not good! Turn it off and let the flame go out before attempting any fixes. This puppy will get HOT when used, so be aware of that.
