if you are still having problems with the stove, the fuel filter may need to be replaced. the fuel
filter is located at the end of the plastic tube on the fuel pump. Unscrew the patterned part of
the filter holder and push the filter out using a pointed object. Make sure the filter holder is
clean before inserting the new filter. if you are without a replacement fuel filter, the stove can
be used without one until one can be acquired. it will be more sooty than usual and will
require more cleaning. some fuels also tend to flare more if no filter is fitted. replace the filter
as soon as possible.
