Liquid fuel

Selecting the right fuel for your outdoor cooker is crucial to ensure effective meal preparation in all conditions. Liquid fuel has long been a popular choice among outdoor enthusiasts, particularly for low temperatures and extended expeditions where gas may be less effective.

Why choose liquid fuel?

Compared to gas, liquid fuel offers clear advantages in extreme temperatures and at high altitudes. Less affected by cold, it provides more consistent combustion and better performance in winter conditions. Additionally, liquid fuel is more cost-effective for extended trips, as it can be transported in larger quantities without taking up unnecessary space.

Advantages of liquid fuel

High purity – Burns cleanly with minimal soot buildup, making stove maintenance easier.
Efficient energy output – Optimal performance even in low temperatures.
Compatibility – Works with multiple Primus multifuel stoves, including OmniFuel, MultiFuel, Eta Power MF, Gravity VF & MF, and VariFuel.

Fuel Bottles for Safe and Convenient Storage

To safely transport and handle liquid fuel, you need a reliable fuel bottle. Primus offers fuel bottles made from lightweight aluminium with a coated interior that protects against corrosion. The bottles feature a standard thread designed to fit directly with compatible Primus stoves, making them easy to use and transport.

How to Use Liquid Fuel Most Effectively

Fill the fuel bottle – Use a Primus fuel bottle to ensure proper fuel storage.
Pressurise the system – Multi-fuel stoves require you to build consistent pressure in the bottle for a stable flame.
Pre-heat the burner – A short pre-heat ensures even & efficient combustion before using the stove.
Adjust the flame – Control the fuel flow to regulate heat as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Liquid Fuel

Here we’ve gathered some of the most common questions and answers regarding our liquid fuel:

Is liquid fuel better than gas for outdoor stoves?

Liquid fuel is more reliable in cold temperatures and at high altitudes where gas can lose pressure and efficiency.

Can I use liquid fuel in all Primus stoves?

Liquid fuel works in compatible camping stoves and multi-fuel stoves but should not be used in stoves designed for gas only.

How should I store liquid fuel safely?

Always transport fuel in an approved fuel bottle and store it away from heat sources and open flames.

How long does a bottle of liquid fuel last?

Consumption depends on the stove’s power and usage, but generally, one bottle lasts for several days of cooking on a longer trip.

A Safe and Reliable Energy Source for Your Outdoor Adventures

With the right equipment—from liquid fuel and camping stoves to compatible fuel bottles you can cook safely and efficiently in any environment. Whether you’re planning a winter expedition or a long hike in remote areas, liquid fuel is a reliable choice for maximum performance.
