Despite LOTS of pumping I am unable to get any pressure into the tank
of my early Sheen Flame Gun - I presume that it may be the piston seal
that is failing - although it looks OK - does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

So did mine, janet so I gave up a couple of weeks ago, I only wanted to
burn some weeds from the patio paving, and I put an extension on my hot
air gun and whipped over the lot in no time :)

I think you need a calendar, if he is still pumping after 13 years he
probably needs a chiropractor.

Blame Google Groups. On all the usenet groups I frequent, these posts
almost invariably come from "$User...@gmail.com"

The Google groups search facility comes up with relevant posts when
asked a question, but it makes it very hard to work out when they were
posted.
