Thanks Bill S.
I have been using a homemade diffuser (coffee can top) and if needed raising my pot with pebbles. It is not ideal, and I'm using more fuel than necessary.
Do you feel that the problem lies in the burner/jet itself?
If so, maybe I could give my stove to the Boy Scouts, and get a simmerlite.
I am definitely a white gas guy, I buy it by the gallon. I have two canister devices which are now obsolete and I don't feel like I got my money out of them in terms of longevity.

I have only had to oil my pump once a year on average, with mineral oil.
I have to say that on the subject of reliability, I would rather have a slightly heavier piece of gear that is well designed, than a lighter one that was problematic, given the choice.

Thanks for the info on the pump.
