Well it can't be all that expensive to make all those home made bits, so here is an opportunity for someone like you to make a nice little profit.

Not exactly.
Roger has come up with two sub 90g winter (liquid feed) stoves.
One has the FMS 116T head , the other (the one that will be in production) has the FMS 300T burner head.
The rest of the stove (legs,jet,heat exchanger,needle valve,heat shunt) is a custom Roger Caffin job.
I liked the weight and stored size as well as the way they are built enough to order one.
As a bonus it can use the standard Lindal valve as well as the Campingaz and the soon to be forgotten Powermax.
Have you tried Silicone O rings ?
Can you fit another fuel line from another stove?
ve had the same experience with my 117T - the double o-rings on the spindle valve ruptured. I got in touch with UK Ultralight where I bought it and they were fantastic - just replaced it. Im trying now to source replacement o-rings so I can have two stoves! I understand via the Russian designers they are 6.3mm OD but havent yet laid my hands on any.
You might be on to something Moondog! I gave it a quick blow (sounds interesting) and then it worked. I don't understand though why it worked with the other canister. I'm going to have to try it a few more times before I'm convinced it's all good though!
Sounds like an issue with the pin length in the stove connection not depressing the Lindal valve properly in some canisters. The Kovea Superlight is well known for this issue so maybe Google those symptoms and compare with yours.

Update on this: After sending an angry email to FireMaple I got a reply offering to send me new valves for both my 117T and my 118, and some spare o-rings! I was just about to give up on Fire Maple and order a Kovea Spider but this might change my mind. With the new parts I should have 3 working valves for my two stoves, so I can take one as a spare for piece of mind.
