We recommend MSR Pump Cup Oil (which is the same as Mineral Oil ). A tube of Pump Cup Oil is included with every MSR stove. If you have an older model stove that did not come with Pump Cup Oil, you can purchase a tube of it at your local MSR dealer. You can also use saliva or any NON-petroleum based lubricant. It is important to lubricate the fuel line in order to protect the tube o-ring.
