    Hi all

    Well I finally got all my parts throughou from the fettle box, have changed everything out.

    Put some paraffin in the tank, screwed in pump and pumped a few time time, pump handle came up from Tilley under pressure and started to leak from where pump rod goes into pump housing.

    Any suggestions on how I stop it leaking? I have put in a new round disc at the bottom ( sorry unsure of correct name)

    Regards
    Martin
    P.s deseperate to see it lit!

    Hi Martin

    Not an idiot at all. This is how we best learn.
