Is this a new omnifuel? looks like it doesn't have the control valve at stove?

The primus instruction download doesn't help much, still looks like the 'old omnifuel' on that.

Spare jets are screwed into the stove legs which is interesting.

the Facebook picture from primus does have a control valve now i look at it more closely..

Do you have any issues with Primus Omnifuel ?
I've just bought a new stove and it leaks petrol badly from the hose connection to the fuel bottle . I'm frustrated after parting with £150 quid .

Some good features taken from the Omnilite with one of the support legs attached to the fuel pipe. I really like the captive flame spreader, miles better if the spring still works after being cooked for hours.

I'm struggling to see the point of the jets in the legs, user would still need to go into the spares box to get the wrench out.

The jets will also get dirty too, the threads and the nossle. Seems a bit daft. The brass burner seems a different shape, more of a flange at the top.

£141?? What does it use for fuel, fresh air?

Don't get me wrong I don't mind spending on nice kit but that just seems ridiculous?

Can be used with virtually any kind of fuel, including gas, gasoline/petrol, diesel, kerosene/paraffin – even aviation fuel

Isn't kerosene/paraffin aviation fuel minus additives?

All within the same family.

Is this just when you connect/disconnect? If it's at any other time I'd suggest asking for a refund, it mustn't leak at other times.

For disconnect, I unscrew the bottle/pump a little to de pressurise it before unscrewing fuel hose connector. It should also be depressurised before connecting as well.

My hope is maybe the 'old omnifuels' will come down in price?....as they clear them for the new one.

Does it not have the same self bleeding pump as the Omnilite TI? Do you turn the bottle over before you disconnect?
