For preheating, just like for alcohol stoves, its better to use a small metal can lid under it with just a few drops of fuel, which will focus the flame right on the whole burner. You're welcome
Just got one of these for my first hiking stove. I did try out an msr dragonfly which I very nearly bought. Very glad I didn't after using my omnifuel for the first time today. The whole package just seems more thought out for actual cooking and ease of use, and not about counting grams.
I genuinely like this stove, very effective, light and compact, however it will need regular cleaning if used with petrol and is definately not quiet. Primus sell a silent burner which reduces the noise significantly, and improves simmer control, but this is expensive and is recommended only for use with white gas and canister gas. I have used it with paraffin, by pre-heating with meths/alcohol.
Please take a close look at the video around 1:44 minutes! The stove is lid while this instructor keeps his head OVER the stove. This is unsafe to do as a flame might come too close to your face (also see safety instructions that come with the stove). Keep clear with your body and burnable materials as much as you possibly can.
@RTCWSecrets Hej! Ledsen för sent svar. 0.45-munstycket är till gas, 0.37-munstycket är till bensin och 0.28-munstycket är till fotogen och diesel. Det står mer i bruksanvisningen. Om du ej har den kvar så kan du hämta den från vår hemsida primus.se under rubriken "Ladda ner". /Primus
Ive had bad luck with my one... The leather washer in the pump has dissintegrated after only six months.!!! Also it blocks up constantly...on petrol.... Oh and the fuel valve renders gas bottles useless. Do i have a dud.???
Is this the primus channel.? Ive invested in this stove...but it seems to render primus butane bottles useless???? Can you help me?? Also the leather washer has broken very quickly!!! I would appreciate any reply...thankyou.
My OmniFuel literally fell apart (the bottom part got disconnected from the upper part). Customer support non-existent (no reply to a message sent via primus.se 10 days ago).Do not buy - there are cheaper stoves out there, that cost much less (and are the same crappy quality lol).
i had to put mine out with a fire extinguisher, as it was leaking gas (which ignited) from the flexible fuel pipe. I have always taken care of the stove (about 2 years old). It is extremely loud. It flares up wildly like pressure stoves of old.
Why not just a coke can penny stove? Weighs nothing...costs nothing. Cooks even frozen food perfectly and all you need is a bottle of pure ethanol or similar. Costs barely £1 to make

The instruction video about OmniFuel is available here on Primus Channel.
"pretty quiet"
this burner design is the loudest there is.
How many jets come with this stove ?
3. One for propane, one for petrol fuels and one for dirtier fuels like kerosene and diesel.
Ive had bad luck with my one...
The leather washer in the pump has dissintegrated after only six months.!!!
Also it blocks up constantly...on petrol....
Oh and the fuel valve renders gas bottles useless.
Do i have a dud.???
Nice. At 3:41 there's an Express Spider :)

How often should one clean the jet?
Very often. This stove likes only very clean fuel, it has no cleaning needle inside. Only hand hold needle.
Aww i have a first gen omni stove. this one has a simmer valve =(

That's incredibly dangerous... where was it leaking from? :o
"...is pretty quiet", haha.

Hi "tanDiegen"! tried to find the video on your channel but didn´t find it. Please send a mail to info@primus.se and we will help you out!
Kerosene is paraffin, & aviation jet engines run on kerosene.
