Don't hold me to this, but that appears to work identical to many camping stoves like the aforementioned Coleman and Swedish stoves. To my knowledge they all use a single fuel source. Typically a "white gas" or "camping fuel" Coleman's own brand is readily available in the US. With the tank full and pumped up, opening the valve will induce LIQUID fuel to come out of the burner and run down into the priming cup. Close the valve, light off that fuel, it will heat up the generator that will cause the fuel to vaporize, open the valve and off the lit fuel from the priming cup VAPOR fuel will come out of the burner and be ignited.
