Camping Gaz S200 backpack stove

This thread is most likely in the wrong place, but seeing as its re. something I wanna buy, I was hoping this place was the closest...

I have just bought a Camping Gaz S200 little stove off Ebay, dead cheap, but it did not come with a gas canister/cartridge.

This model is from the 70's apparantly :eek: and I'm struggling to find the right gas thing for it.. The instructions say to 'place a 200 gramme cartridge into the cartridge holder'. I cannot find a 200g!! I can find a 190g or a 230g, but not 200g. From the rudimentary diagrams in the instructions and looking at the stove itself, the canister/cartridge should be one that is fairly short in length if that helps...

So in short, I wanna buy the correct gas thing for a Camping Gaz S200 backpack stove. Can anyone help, at all?

Yes its the C206 cartridge you need, the 190g one, the same as you use in a bleuet / campingaz 206 stove.
the s200 stoves are the imported european ones but are compatible with the C206 gas cartridge.
if you havent fitted one before you screw off the top stove bit, put the canister in fold the arms down then screw the top back on.
before you try to fit it check the little rubber gasket thats just under the spike for damage, alot of the early stoves need it replacing
