Hello friends, this video is about the restoration of a gasoline camping stove optimus 8R , I found this camping stove in a junkyard, it is completely rusted and several parts are missing, I decided to give it a new life.  This is an old Swedish 1970's  optimus No. 8R , The stove box is completely rusted. In this video,
.....

TECHNICAL FEATURES OF optimus gasoline camping stoce NO. 8R is :

* Type: gasoline camping stove, about 130 c.c. volume fuel tank.
* Fuel: petrol / gasoline car / gasoline extraction / benzin car / gasoline aviation / Coleman fuel.
* Special pin inside the nozzle for cleaning the channel without extra tools.
* Power: it boil 2 liters of water during about 15 minutes, it is the equal of 1-1.2 kWt.
* Working time: about 50-60 minutes at one portion of fuel.
* Materials: main parts are made off brass, other (external box) are from steel.
* Dimensions: 125x130x80mm.
* Weight: about 750 gr (without fuel).
* No any pump inside, which can malfunctions.
* To prime the stove I recommend to use special "dry fuel" or pure alcohol... if you'll use the gasoline for pre-heating it will work too, but your hands will black after manipulations with the stove.
* Safety valve (hidden into the lid of fuel tank) provides the defense from high pressure inside the tank. You can be strongly surprised if it will executed... it is the reason why you should not use the stove inside tents, woody houses etc. But this system prevents from total tank explosion.
* Fuel tank have special shield which should reduce the heating of the tank when the pot is on the stove. Really I recommend to have the cup of cold water or to some snow to decrease the pressure if the flame will come "out of control". Just make the fuel tank more cold and all will OK.
* Very compact, reliable and low weight device for travelers to wild places where no any butane tanks are available.
* Works both in the crackling frost - 30 degrees Celsius and the biggest heat waves - plus 40 degrees Celsius


I plan to do these things:
1- I will remove the rust from the can and paint it with a special paint.
2- I will design and make the supports and legs for the stove.
3- I will design and make a new flame spreader for the stove.
4- I will make the volume bar to open and close the burner.
5- And we will learn how to light a gasoline stove .  Enjoy this video and i hope  it be useful 💐🌹🌹
