They're the same water cans I used in the Marines for years. They have a little anti vacuum cap on the lid that always seems to break off and leak. I would not use for fuel but they're just fine for water.

This is not meant for fuel, it's specifically for water. The plastic is not the same and will decay.

This product was not made for fuel. The materials used are not the same. This is plastic and the others which are used to hold fuel are constructed from metal.

No. This is the military water can (MWC). The Scepter brand and equivalent military fuel cans (MFC) not only have a different handle, but the cap is different (to include different gaskets for different types of fuels). Although you could certainly put fuel in it, the MWC was not intended to hold fuel, and will likely leak.

No. Don't you just love how they don't mention that ANYWHERE on the page? I also like how they show the fuel canister in the photo AND call it a "system."I complained about this two years ago... I see the page still hasn't changed to reflect that it does not come with fuel.Some would retort, stating it's common sense. I say there's a first time to learn everything--I wasn't born knowing that fuel doesn't generally come with stoves when the frickin picture denotes otherwise.

Yes, this works just like the original version of the stove, just in a lighter, smaller version. There are 3 jets that are easily swapped out in the field if required. One for isobutane canisters, one for naptha, and one for gasoline/diesel/kerosene etc.... The hose that connects to the red fuel canister in the picture, will also connect to isobutane canisters. Just have the jet installed for whatever fuel type you want to burn and your cooking with fire...as the saying goes. I've been using this stove for the last year and am very happy with it. The last stove you'll ever need to buy. Highly recommended. Convenience of canisters, and the flexibility to burn any fuel you can find. What's not to love??

I am going to purchase this canner for my summer bounty. Lost so many quarts of tomatos this past summer to water bath canning so am going to try this. I have a glass top stove and am going to use my gas b-b-q outside that has a side burner on it. Has anyone else used this before and does it work ok??

I've used all the brands, it's the regulator twist at the bottom of tank, you must adjust it. All the brands of fuel has worked for me. THe key is the regulator. If it won't light, then the pressure is just too high, adjust the twist, then it will work nicely. I like this lighter and it's worked well for me and DHs works nicely too. The product description doesn't tell you about this feature, I had to figure it out by looking at lighter under a 15x magnifier. LOL, then I found the regulator twist! I emailed the seller, but they don't seem to want to add this to the description. Bad seller, good lighter!

Hi Shawn,Yes. If water gets in to fuel you just run the mixture through the funnel. What comes out (into a suitable, dry container) will be fuel. Any water that was in the fuel will remain in the funnel. Just dump that into a container for proper disposal, wipe the funnel dry and you're done. You've given your gasoline new life! Janette

First, all the kerosene heaters marked "110" or "HMN 110" are basically the same, just sold by different companies; so, they take the same wick. There is a web site that is devoted to all sorts of kerosene devices, heaters, stoves, lamps, etc. The guy who runs it is extremely knowledgable and can answer questions. There is a difference in the quality of wicks. You should get a CUI wick made in England by Hattersley, as they are the best quality. They cost around $11. The wick you want is listed as "1X".

I read a few websites that said you can use a natural smelling oil such as lavender...a single drop or 2 directly in the kerosene. I decided not to try it, because the heater is so good at keeping me warm...I feared it would mess that up in some way. Go to Miles Stairs website and check to see what he has to say about this...you can even email him directly that info is also on his site, he has all the information you will ever need about this kerosene heater...he also sells the "wicks" I have ordered mine from him.

Hi Truc. I'm the owner of the company that makes Soldier Fuel™. Yes, the SoldierFuel™ energy bar is featured in the U.S. Special Operations Forces Nutrition Guide. You can see excerpts of the guide here: http://www.soldierfuel.com/#!nutrition-guide/c21jbAmerican Special Operations units here and overseas eat Soldier Fuel™. The bars are also used by West Point cadets. Foreign militaries, too, such as Canada, have made Soldier Fuel™ their new standard energy bar. (In fact, we've even redesigned a special wrapper with a Maple Leaf for the Canadian Military!) We started developing the Soldier Fuel energy bar when we were the Army's R&D; partners in performance nutrition. Hi Truc. I'm the owner of the company that makes Soldier Fuel™.

I just started using gas station kerosene. the red dye in it is not good for the wick and it smells a lot more than the highly refined kerosene also. and it was not cheap at almost 7 bucks a gallon! I am going to go back to the more expensive k-1 kerosene. it is more expensive but worth it in my case.

The nozzle , ugh, it ruins the can. Its a two handed operation just to 'open' the nozzle and then a second person to lift and pour into the fuel tank. Weird and I would not buy another just because of that uneducated mechanical change.

If it was, as is the case with other 'EPA Certified', it would be hard to use and leak copiously. I have several of the Carb-Compliant cans all of which leak during use and transport. A full 5 gallon EPA Compliant can is very hard to manage... trying to activate the Carb-Compliant spout while holding 30+ pounds of fuel upside down is just not possible. Fuel ALWAYS spills around the fill port. Good job, EPA! Always trust a desk-bound bunch of bureaucrats to screw up a simple can!

I have a 72 Super Beetle, and a 66, 73 Sedan. As far as fuel .... they are all the same? I have bought two Spectra Premium Fuel Tanks. One for the '73 & one for a '74 Karmann Ghia. They are beautiful tanks. Very pleased with my purchases.

That's a great question! I was faced with that for years because I am a constant consumer of this heater. I found out, or I "think" that it's basically the same heater and a company just slaps their logo on it. I could be wrong....but I've had many of these heaters, with many different "company names" but it's always been the same heater. So I think that what you see in the pic, is what you will get.

Ford did a great job of designing those fuel systems! It boils down to laziness. That reservoir was meant to be a switch for dual-tank vehicles (ranger and F series) instead of redesigning the system, they changed the switch to a filter. The replacement units will fit in place of what you have now. It CANNOT be opened and there is no filter inside. The filter caused a lot if problems so it was omitted. This reservoir is in place so the low-pressure pump on the tank can pump fuel to it and then the high-pressure pump on the rail can suck the fuel from that to the filter then the fuel rail. Again, not the best design. This part will fit your 86. Just remember to depressurize the fuel system and wear safety goggles. Ask me how I figured out that little gem of knowledge!

No! Its not meant for fuel to run through it. Like others have said it will read poorly at the lower pressures normal vehicles run at. I actually had an Oriley employee suggest doing the same on my F350 diesel. Lets just say I bought a tester there, had him do it and promptly refund my money as it didnt work as he thought ;-)
