Customers 123 Svea Stove for a service

A customer from USA wanted me to look at his stove as he said he can't get it going. You can ring me on:- 07713090929

I enjoyed the reminder on how to light a Svea 123.

Good job Charlie.

What fuel was he running in it? Alcohol or kerosene I bet.

[@Thereal111t]

Yeah. I saw that. It’s funny, I had a disagreement with a fellow online who insisted that he had been told that 123 would burn kerosene.

Coleman fuel, or some people put petrol in them, but to me that is too dangerous.

@@Thereal111t Dear Paul , kerosene, or rather paraffin as we call it in the UK , was the usual fuel for these stoves. As Charlie said in the video, paraffin does have a invasive odour and you're better off using Coleman fuel. Folks in the US tend to try Heet or petrol in these stoves which might run , but are dirty sooty things and the petrol has lots of additional additives in it nowadays. Happy Trails.
