this came with the 135 i bought this week, not powerful enough to run it It's a quirky little thing, but RAF. Over engineerd with the vent pipe. A pain to remove the wick every time you fill it or spend a couple of hours trying to fill it through the vent pipe
I wonder if there's an anti spill valve built in

Yes! You might get a flame at the end of the pipe too!

The mm1 would just tick over with a bit of cotton as a wick in that end.
