Coleman No Pressure? - Try The Check Valve 

What an absolute pain in the asp. Took it apart a half dozen times trying to get the check valve unstuck. Then it finally worked. Thank you so much for the how to video. I have several lanterns and several stoves, never had any problems from them. This little back pack stove is my newest one and of course it had the problem. Some of my stuff is downright ancient with no problems.

I was shocked when I saw Bass Pro/Cabela selling these 2 burner stoves for over $200.00. I found 3 of them for $20.00 or less in a thrift shop so your video was great advice for people who own these older Coleman Camp Stoves. Good job and thanks heaps...

I think I’m gonna try mineral spirits. Just bought an old stove, first time issue with a check valve. Great video, thanks!

Never thought to use vinegar. I always use Acetone. Cause it won't contaminate the fuel.

Excellent, it worked for a 425E stove, it works again, greetings from Mexico

Just tried poking the valve with a skewer and it fixed it right up! Thank you for the tip! I have a 3 burner Coleman thats gotta be 40+ years old.

Great stuff. Just revived a 50 year old stove that was giving me fits. Thank you!

I got a lantern that has no shield or bags. Is it useful?

Thank You!!!

If no pressure was my problem, the first two things that I would do is (1) oil the leathers, and (2) check the gasket in the filler cap. If the check valve is leaking, it is a very DANGEROUS situation. The pressure in the tank will instantly push a stream of raw gasoline straight out of the vent hole in the pump plunger when the plunger is unscrewed to allow the pump to work. This raw gas squirts directly onto the operator. I have had to remove and replace two such Coleman check valves. That had never been a problem for me when Coleman made their own equipment in America. But, for years it has been farmed out to overseas sources, perhaps to China? Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

Great video! Your method work great for me as my lantern wasn't holding pressure after a decade in storage. Pulled the pump out along with valve screw, added carb cleaner and let sit for a few hours. Used a wire to clean out any gunk. Put it back together and works like a champ now! Thanks!

Great video brother!

Can you use normal car gas in these stoves also? Never mind I finished the video and you answered my question!

Great Video!

Thank you for this. I just got my first 220 lantern (I got it for when we take our 79' VW out camping) and at first I had no pressure. I took the plunger out and set it back in and it was honestly hard to even push it in. I could only get about 3 pumps before I was done (my wife is used to that. hahaha!!). The rod would easily push back out by itself so at least I have something I can try tonight without thinking I need to get that special took to get the valve out! Or is it possible that the tank is just too full of fuel & doesn't take much to pump it up? I'll edit this tonight or tomorrow once I give it a try! Thanks!!!

Good info as usual
