    Hello, Can someone help? I noticed on one of my Tilley lamps that the thread where the pump screws into had a small worn patch. I then checked some of my other Tilley's and they too had a "worn" bit. So it appears that they're there for a reason, does anyone know what it is? Thanks, Neil

    It's there so when you uncrew the pump, it releases the air pressure from the tank..
