Comments about MSR Standard Fuel Pump:

MSR has always made great lightweight stoves but have made terrible pumps. I have been through three generations of pumps. The first generation came apart on a winter trip scattered fuel everywhere and set the snow on fire. Tabs holding the pump handle broke off. The second generation also breaks tabs but at least it didn't set me on fire. It also simmered well. The third generation (shown here) switched to a rubber cup instead of leather so it siezes in hot desert weather. You have to oil it often. The check valves fail easily. It will not simmer. Nor does it turn off properly leaving the stove burning at a low level. You have to blow it out to be sure. It also has weak plastic threads that strip easy. It no longer has an O ring on the bottle so it will eventually leak in your pack. The second generation pump was the best of a bad lot but this new one is worthless.

Comments about MSR Standard Fuel Pump:

My MSR WhisperLite stove has lasted over a decade, has been through extremely harsh conditions,and has performed admirably...I've had to replace the pump, however, multiple times. The pump's light weight plastic design is okay as a weight saving measure and it works great brand new, but the pump's issues with long-term durability and constant need for maintenance have always been the WhisperLite's Achilles heel. That being said, I still prefer the WhisperLite to any other stove.

Comments about MSR Standard Fuel Pump:

Great stove, except when I took it apart to clean it and over-tightened the fuel knob and cracked the plastic. Faulty design. I noticed someone else did the same thing. Now I have to buy a new pump after I just purchased the "maintenance kit"; it's almost cheaper to buy a new stove.

Comments about MSR Standard Fuel Pump:

We use a Whisperlite International for all our backpacking. The stove is great and we have had it for at lest 12 years. I still use the original pump mechanism. But, I want a backup pump. I have tried this twice - the first new pump resulted in a scary jet of flame shooting out the stove that melted part of the aluminum screen. The second works, but leaks at the fuel bottle - no O-ring, just the rubber fitting. I kept this one as a backup, but I just hope the original pump lasts! The stove is great, wish the new pumps were as good.

They aren't that expensive. It will easily fit in the same bag with the stove. Buy one; if you break the first just swap it out and fix the first one when you get back home.

Comments about MSR Standard Fuel Pump:

This is an improved design on the old standard. The newly designed valve adds flame control especially when simmering. The plastic material is just as substantial as aluminum, used by other manufacturers, only lighter. Good pump seal. Needs occasional lubrication.

*Better for use on stoves with newer fuel line catch arms so the valve control knob can turn unimpeded.

Comments about MSR Standard Fuel Pump:

I love the MSR Wisperlite stove, when the ears broke off my pump it still worked, but the plunger kept falling out. MSR told me it was out of warranty, but offered this replacement pump for[$]. I think they recognize that there is a problem here.

Comments about MSR Standard Fuel Pump:

This thing is useless. When I buy a whisperlite, it is probably for its extreme AK-47-like reliability, but then there is the pump. Why? Why is it made out of a plastic that will crack and leak 10 days into a 21 day, 201 mile AT hike? MSR needs to hire actual backpackers to engineer their products. I would not mind if they added a few grams and a bit more money to make this out of aluminum or titanium. The stove, however, is excellent. If every single pump is like mine, you should probably carry one for every five days on the trail, just to be safe. Hopefully I just got a fluke.
Unfortunately, MSR whitegas stoves are all ruined by this horrible pump. If I were you, however, I'd get one of them whisperlite universal stoves. Yes, they are more expensive than the other whisperlites, but at least you can use the same stove on isobutane and whitegas. That way you can get the same whisperlite reliability and you can just use isobutane until the pumps get better.
