A neighbor of mine likes to do quite a bit of camping. Among his equipment is the Coleman dual fuel stove and MSR Dragon Fly portable liquid fuel stove.
Anyways, he is very good about keeping his equipment in shape, and checks each piece of gear before heading off to the "wilderness" of the Adirondack mountains in upstate NY.
The burners on his jets seemed to be clogged and I mentioned to him about using Kreen. He stopped by the house and I gave him 10 ounces of Kreen to mix with the canned fuel or unleaded fuel that the stoves and lanterns use. I figured, Kreen when mixed, should last him quite some time by using a small proportion to his fuel.
Well, low and behold, he came to my home this AM to find out more information about Kreen, since it worked magic on his stoves and liquid gas lanterns. These stoves and lanterns are pumped up, by hand, with air into the storage bottle. In order to increase the pressure on the flow of fuel the pumping is necessary on these small storage bottles. He explained that the jets, fuel line and adjustment for the flame are all working like new and sparkle with cleanliness. There is no more "Sputtering flames" and they now run smooth. He will wait to see how it worked on the MSR pump attached to the fuel cannister for the Dragonfly stove since this is made of plastic.
I gave him the info on the Kreen/Kroil products....hence a new use for Kreen. I'm sure he will pass on the great cleaning of his equipment to his colleagues in the wilderness.
