Schrader valve on Taylor's Stove tank?

[Amulet]

I'm told it is possible to buy a top for the tank with a Schrader valve. Does anyone know where?

Don't know, are you having problems with the leather washer in the pump?

Nope, but even performing at its best I'm convinced it is less efficient than a good bike pump..... and ... if I had such a valve I'd carry a CO2 bike inflation kit and pump the tank with zero effort.

Never needed more than ten strokes every three days or so but if that really feels like too much of an effort have a look here:

You could fit a stainless steel washer and use a standard Tubeless tyre valve, they are just pulled through the hole on car rims.

Schrader valve is just another name for the valve used in everyday automotive tyres.

Good luck and fair winds.

Yep. The reason I want a standard automotive tyre valve is to be able to use standard tools to pressurise. I cook serious meals on this stove. I don't understand the ten strokes a day argument. I burn three tanks of paraffin on a two week cruise, and it runs out when I have, say, a leg of lamb in the oven while thrashing to windward for an evening anchorage and meal. "No we can't tack now, I'm pumping the stove," is not a useful interjection. I assume ten pumps a day involves not running out of paraffin under sail in difficult conditions.

Dear All

I'm living in Belgium

I'm wondering if any of you might help me

I just bought an 1977 sailboat equiped with a 068 Taylor heater




But the small leather cuff/washer to get pressure in the parafine tank was out of use





I bought a new one, but the problem is that it's a new one for the new 79k model

The seller proposed me to throw my reservoir away and buy a new one $$$$$$$$$$$$$£££££££££££€€€€€€€€€€€

Would one of you know how to replace the ancient cuff, buy a new one or "create" a new one

Thanks for your help
