smaller, more compact stoves were developed in the early 20th century that used petrol (gasoline), which at that time was similar to so-called white gas and did not have the additives and other constituents contained in modern gasoline. similar in design to the kerosene-burning primus-style stove, the smaller white gas stove was also made of brass with the fuel tank at the base and the burner assembly at the top. unlike the primus-style stove, however, priming both pressurizes the tank and pre-heats the burner assembly in this type of stove. once lit, the heat from the burner maintains the pressure in the tank until the flame is extinguished. the svea 123, introduced in 1955, is among the most popular of these "self pressurizing" stove designs, and is generally considered to be the first compact camping stove. optimus of sweden manufactures a line of similarly designed stoves in which the stove's components are entirely enclosed in a folding metal case, the most popular of which were the optimus 8r and 111 (still in production as the optimus hiker). the coleman company developed a small white gas stove with integral fuel tank for the us army in world war ii, the "gi pocket stove". coleman still makes similar stoves, such as the 442, 533 and 550b (the latter of which can also run on kerosene). these stoves have a pump to build up initial pressure in the fuel tank, but are generally self-pressurising when running (occasional re-pumping may be necessary if the stove is run at full output).
