Flamegun weedkiller - Sheen X300
UPDATE TIME !
Problem no1: The tank would not hold pressure. The rubber O ring in the filler cap hard gone very hard. I sprayed it with WD40 and "worked" it with my fingers to try to soften. It then held pressure. I used paraffin on the wick. Worked OK, but probably so would have meths. Paid a totally outrageous 7.99 for 5ltr paraffin at our local rip-off garden centre. Problem no.2: In use. The "Tap" must be leaking. Looked very liquidy up the long pipe to the tap. (I'm pretty sure the fuel). As a result I tended to have flames running up the pipe. It didn't make me feel very safe. (Hot, but not "warm and cosy" if you see what I mean. I suspect a similar problem to no.1, as pipe, tap and brazing look OK. I'll check into it. Problem no.3: In use. Not really a nice, small pointed flame. Due to insecurity feelings, I didn't mess too much at the time. I don't really know whether amount of tap opening, or pressure, or combination is supposed to control the flame. |
