the regulator can discharge approx. 1/2 litre over a period of 10 hours due to 
the violent motion of the float and float chamber. But only in heavy weather. 
 
The overflow is also an important safety precaution. If the regulator float or 
valve mechanism should fail, the fuel oil will run through into the waste oil 
tank, and not into the stove, which could cause overheating, excessive oil use 
and possibly cause fire. 
 
We at the factory have often received regulators for reconditioning where the 
overflow outlet has been blanked off. 
 
We strongly advise against this practice. 
 
By mounting the overflow pipe, you must hold reverse on the nut to prevent too 
much force and break the nipple. (The nipple can be replaced). 
 
The regulator is very sensitive to dirt and water in the fuel supply. It is very 
important to clean the filter in the bottom of the regulator once every month. 
 
The maximum and minimum supply capacity is noted on the oil control in cc/min. 
 
The max. and min. for the various model of stove are as follows: 
Model 62, 66, 71 and 70   =  2,0 -  6 cc/min. 
Model 60, 61 and 64       =  3,0 - 14 cc/min. 
Model 67 MS               =  5,0 - 17 cc/min. 
Model 67 MV               =  5,0 - 20 cc/min. 
Model 2000K and 2000KV    =  3,5 -  9 cc/min. 
 
All regulators are set by the factory for diesel oil with an oil viscosity of 4,0 
at a temperature of 20 degrees centigrade. Diesel oil evaporates at approx. 77 
degrees centigrade and becomes “waxy” at approx.  
-10 degrees centigrade which can cause the stove to extinguish. 
 
The stove can also burn paraffin which is a cleaner and more fluid fuel. The 
regulator would need to be adjusted. 
 

 

 
11. CLEANING PIN 
 
The cleaning pin is made of 6 mm dia. stainless steel, which slides in a brass T-
piece, through a rubber O-ring, which can be changed in the event of leakage. 
 
The cleaning pin is used to keep the fuel supply to the burner free from the 
products from combustion (soot etc.). Under constant use the cleaning pin should 
be pushed in and out a few times every 14 days to keep the fuel inlet free from 
obstruction. 
 
It is important that the cleaning pin is not left pushed right in whilst the 
stove is in use, as in this position the end of the pin extends into the 
combustion chamber and the end of the pin can be coated in soot and slag thus 

Paraffin first becomes “waxy” at -35 
degrees centigrade. Thus it can be a good 
idea to mix paraffin with diesel oil, with 
very low temperatures, in a rate of 1:1. 
 
There are also several brands of diesel 
oil additive which can prevent problems 
because of frost.
