    Help, these type of lamp are not my area of expertise, Tilley, Vapalux etc no problem but only a few of these have passed through my hands and usually I have passed them on. However this was gifted so has to be a keeper.

    Problem is it just try's to burn my shed down. Now if it was one of the above mentioned lamps performing like this I would swap the vaporiser, burner etc is there something Im doing wrong, are there any adjustments I'm missing or is the generator knackered. The lamp looks to have had little use, so I suspect a fault from new.

    Help please

    My first assumption would be the nipple isn't sealing in the generator. Make sure the nipple is tight and maybe use some copper or nickel slip on the thread.
