If you ever need to replace the o-rings on the control needle of the Merlin gas burner tank you need some of these o-rings:

Yes that is correct. I think the gas jet was blocked and the operator carried on opening the valve and had a little accident. In use you do not need to open the valve more than one complete turn - the control is not very fine on these burners.Chris Cairns:91108 wrote:Over on the other forum was it not a Moderator that had a close call when his Merlin gas valve unscrewed completely out with the burner already alight?

Finally found the Topics in myfreeforums after struggling with their search facility.
Merlin Gas Burner Warning - Another discussion had the flame length at 3', but this original one had it at 6' and a fair list of injuries sustained - http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org/ftopi ... -asc-0.php
Improving a Merlin Gas Burner - Here Tony Bird discusses replacing the original bronze mesh with nikchrome mesh to improve the radiant performance of the burner - http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org/ftopi ... -asc-0.php
Nikchrome mesh is difficult to get a hold of in the UK so I used Stainless Steel mesh instead, and the improvement is very good.
