Hi, My trusty Coleman stoves valve drips petrol, which is potentially a hazard as it collects in the dip on top of the tank.

I can get a replacement part, but they are 46 quid, which seems a tad expensive as a whole new cooker can be had for a 100.

Presumably its just a washer somewhere thats perished - anyone had the same problem and fixed themselves?

Thanks,
Matthew

Hi..Matt

We don't have a Coleman stove but as it's dripping anyway(and therefore probably unusable?), can't it just be stripped down to have a look?

...if it is just an O ring or fibre washer of sorts, I would've thought you'd be able to source something compatible..

For starters ebay-

O Rings Fibre washers

As long as you make sure that they're okay for use with petrol, if you're competent/confident enough, it seems worth having a fiddle about with at those prices...

what ever you do don't use it as i did stupidly and nearly burned down the tent.

i through mine away and was annoyed when i learned its a known issue with age, just a broken seal that you can buy cheaply.

Not sure where you are located, But I recommend Andy Eddy (Bleadon Camping Spares), who Coleman themselves recommend him. He is very good, and very reasonably price. I am lucky enough to live just up the road from him, and I Periodically drop my stoves round for a service.

Phone: +44 (0)1934 814 276
E mail address: bcscampingspares at btinternet.com
Please note the Camping gaz website has his old email address, the correct one is on the Coleman Site)

I hope this helps.

James,

Sorry, I am not sure, as I have got more used to my stoves, I have felt more confident doing basic servicing myself, and as such not used him for a few years.

I am struggling to find his ebay shop, so it may be the case that he may no longer be trading. I would drop him an email or give him a call, and see whether you get a response (and Provide everyone with an update)

Thanks
Nathan
