Transporting Coleman Dual Fuel Single Burner Stove

[Jel]

Hey guys,

I've used this type of stove for years when car camping, fishing, or tailgating, but I've never used it for backpacking. I would always put it upright in a box in the truck or something like that.

This got me wondering as to how to transport it properly if I needed to go backpacking with it. I know it's not the lightest but it is almost indestructible and still portable.

Would/Should I empty the fuel into another container before packing it up for transport?

If it is NOT emptied, does it need to remain mostly upright or will the fuel leak?

Thanks!

The stove should not leak no matter what position you place it in.

I would check the cap gasket and the on-off valve if you have a leak.

Check out the http://www.colemancollectorsforum.com/ for a lot more information.

Yes, you will find me there.

Thanks for the info Ethan.

I just wanted to make sure before I tossed it into a pack. I didn't want head off and find out later that all the fuel leaked out and drenched everything else in the pack.

Thanks for the link. I have a vintage dual fuel dual burner stove that I need to troubleshoot. Will do a little research there!

Cheers!

Remember going from sea level to 7000'+, you will get pressure in anything that has air in it and has been sealed at sea level. If you see what happens to a bag of potato chips at sea level then at 7000', you know what I mean.

Your fuel in the stove tank will expand at high altitudes if there's any air in it.
