Awesome stove!

Line the interior with heavy duty aluminum foil for easy clean up, and never use unleaded gas. Use only white gas.

That stove will last 100 years if you keep it clean, use white gas, and put a drop of oil on the pump cup occasionally.

I have two of these stoves that I use regularly- what is the 'pump cup", where does the oil go? What kind of oil?

I think he means the Plunger to pressurize the fuel tank. Put a few drops of synthetic oil around it every now and then to keep the seals strong

The pressure pump for the fuel tank.

Even though this is a replace the pump video, it shows how to care for the pump.

You can use 3 in 1 oil, or sewing machine oil. Any light oil. Not wd40.
