Thank you, and everybody on this very helpful and friendly list, for their help!
Sorry for not replying earlier. Work has just been crazy the last month. Should be better now. I did manage to sneak up to the boat and play with...
I never had a problem but I think in the future I will be a bit more conservative and see how the stove does with less strokes. Just to save wear...
Yes, I will swap the caps next time I am on the boat and see what happens. Thanks for the tip with the tank capacity. I did not know that. Not...

Good eye! I did not even notice the ridges on the alu washer but the photo clearly shows them. And thanks for confirming that the 'conical...
Oh, one more thing: After I got the jet off, I blew into the burner. I expected a lot of air resistance but there was really none. Is my...
OK, it is definitely winter here (polar vortex and all), no sailing! So I can finally focus on my stove problem. To my great joy I found...
