Hi i have the following problem. My Tilley heaters were working fine, then i ran out of fuel. I ordered some more fuel allegedly exactly the same stuff, same dealer, same brand. This is were the problem started. I was used to pre heating my heaters twice before lighting. I now need to pre heat at least 3 times. When i eventually get them burning everything looks normal. Then, after about 5 minutes the blue shark teeth flames disappear and all i have is a dull glow in the bottom half of the Mantle. With the old fuel everything was ok. Can the new fuel be responsible for this? Could it have a different ignition point Just thought i´d check out possible causes before contacting the dealer Thanks Dave
Have you tried cleaning the vaporizer? Or even pricking the jet by turning the valve? It could be a carbon build up due to the different running mixture when it ran out of fuel.
Have you tried the fuel in another appliance like a stove or lantern? If it plays up its certainly the fuel.
