Alternatively for £20 and a bottle of gas buy yourself a new propane one that lights at the touch of a button!

I've inherited a Sheen 300X Flame Gun from my late father but despite pumping cannot seem to generate any pressure, hence it won't work. Can you give me any advice?

I bought a propane gun off amazon about three weeks ago I used it three times using a bottle of gas each time it was around half an hour burning for each bottle ,I came to the conclusion I would be better using a candle and blowing gently while on my hands and knees

Funny Robo!

Let us know when you're attempting the candle experiment & I'll alert the appropriate services. I'm sure they will want to give you one of those nice white 'hug yourself' jackets! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Check all the seal washers and the one in the pump on the piston.
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.
