Priming (pre-heat) and failure points of the M1950 / Coleman 536 stove

Safety first when using any stove.
A video made during the refurbishment of the U.S. M1950 stove also called the Coleman 536. I demonstrate a couple of different ways to prime the stove and discuss some possible failure points and idiosyncrasies to be aware of, especially if you are new to these stoves or have an old one. At the end we venture inside the fuel tank for a look around.

It's a good idea to depressurize the stove after it has cooled off. The next time you use it you will then have to pump it up and effectively you will be testing the NRV mechanism and the pump gasket and pressure testing the entire stove for leaks. When you open and close the valve to fill the preheat cup you are also testing the shut off mechanism. That's about as much as you can do to ensure your stove is safe to use before actually lighting it.
