    Hello everyone
    I have great difficulty in extracting the non-return valve from the pump pressure.
    What suggestions for the extraction of the non-return valve.
    It has been completely unscrewed, but gets stuck inside.

    What solutions do you suggest?

    thanks to all

    Do you mean that NRV turns freely at the bottom of the pump tube? (=treads are gone)

    This often happens, the NRV is unscrewed but don't want to fall
    You have to do 2 hooks with some steel wire and gently pull out the NRV
    good luck

    Take a bicycle spoke and try that it will go in to hole in NRV. At least butted bicycle spokes do so...

    Bend the tip of the spoke a little bit stick it into NRV's center hole bend/twist the outer end a bit and try to pull NVR out. [-o<

    Another version... Take a big fishing hook but small enough that tip goes into center hole of the NRV. Make/bend hook straight and tie it to screw driver or bicycle spoke (to bicycle spoke it can be soldered also =P~ ) Then put the tip of the hook into center hole of the NRV and move it so that it sticks in. Pull NRV out. :p

    Making sure that there's no fuel inside and glass etc is removed turn it upside down give the bottom of the tank a bit of a slap and shake, it should drop out.

    EVERYTHING OK! :D/
    eventually, after labors ](*,) and imprecations :rage: , I managed to pull it outside.
    the bottom of the valve was so caked as to prevent the complete extraction.
    Thanks for the suggestions to the respondents.
    greetings

    These are really nice lamps if you can get them going, in terms of brightness they punch well above their weight....
