Solution |
Air leaks from the tank. |
The air release valve or filler cap is not properly tightened |
Check the valve and filler cap. Fasten them properly |
o-rings or cushions are damaged |
Check the sealing cushion and o-rings. Replace if damaged |
The gasoline tank can not be pressurized |
The tank is too full. There is not enough air space. |
Make sure there is enough airspace in the tank
|
The leather bowl of the pump is too dry or deformed |
Lubricate the leather bowl with some lubricant, refurnish it. |
The screw to fix the leather bowl is loose. |
Tighten the screw |
No gasoline coming out of the cutting tip |
The valve (s) is not open in the fuel line or the gasoline pressure is too low in the tank |
Check and make sure all the valves on the fuel line are open, and the gasoline pressure gauge on the tank indicates proper pressure. |
The fast-flow check valve is not reset and the fuel line is shut off.
|
Close the gasoline outlet valve on the tank, lightly tap the side of the gasoline outlet pipe stem to reset the fast-flow check valve. A distinct metallic click should be heard.
Note:
If the gasoline valve on the tank is opened quickly there will be a distinct metallic click as the fast-flow ball check snaps into place and shuts off the fuel. If this happens, the check valve needs to be reset. |
Flame dies out after ignition when using a freshly refilled tank |
There is air in the gasoline line. |
O pen the preheat oxygen valve and gasoline valve, hold the oxy-gasoline cutting torch high until gasoline mist coming out of the cutting tip evenly. |
Gasoline drips from the cutting tip or flame is yellow at one side. |
Oversupply of gasoline or undersupply of preheat oxygen |
Increase preheat oxygen supply or reduce gasoline supply by a djusting the gasoline valve and preheat oxygen valve |
Cutting tip is not well fastened |
Tighten the cutting tip with a pair of wrenches or unfasten the cutting tip and refurnish it |
Cutting tip is overheated or destroyed during operation |
Too little gasoline supply or the flame core is not pronounced for 3mm -5mm during the operation. |
Increase gasoline supply. Keep the flame core pronounced for 3 -5mm from the cutting tip. |
No gasoline flows out from the cutting tip, the gasoline gauge on the tank indicates growing pressure when opening the oxygen valve. |
The cutting tip has been destroyed. |
Replace the cutting tip with a new one. It is strictly prohibited to use damaged or destroyed cutting tip. |
The flame does not distinguish after shutting up the gasoline valve. |
T he gasoline valve on the oxy-gasoline cutting torch is warn and does not close well. |
Open the preheat oxygen valve to blow out the flame. Get the oxy-gasoline cutting torch repaired. |
There is cracking noise while shutting down.
|
T he preheat oxygen valve is shut before the flame dies out completely. |
Shut gasoline valve and wait until the flame dies out before shutting the preheat oxygen valve. |
There is cracking noise during ignition. |
Insufficient gasoline supply |
I ncrease a little gasoline supply by adjusting the gasoline valve on the oxy-gasoline cutting torch. |
