    I have a Primus 96 and if leaks at the tank/vaporizing tube IMG_8642.JPG IMG_8643.JPG joint. I have been given a washer but it is too thick and I can not screw on the the vaporizing tube when the washer is in place. What do i need to do?

    You require a correctly sized lead (burner) washer for that connection.

    I would suggest contacting our site sponsor The Fettlebox where you can purchase

    Pharael.

    Is washer in your picture lead? If so, is simple to flatten and trim to fit.
