Hi there,
I have a problem with my stove that I have not been able to solve, neither find anything useful in the Internet:
After making the mistake of trying to use gas designed for car use in my Primus Omnifuel, I decided to clean it thoroughly, including the pump. What happens now is that when trying with white gas, the stove leaks fuel at the top of the pump and I can't get pressure. I've tried to put apart the pump and the leather piece seems to be in good condition, but no results again ... And here is where I am stuck. Could anybody help me, guys ?
Thanks a lot in advance
Javier

It sounds to me like the NRV(non return valve) at the bottom of the pump tube(where the air comes out) is stuck open or broken. Try looking at it first to see if there's a piece of debris in it. You may have to remove and disassemble it.

Any particular reason this was a mistake? I use car fuel pretty often for my omnifuel, when I run out of white gas/propane. Haven't had any problems with it yet.
