Dupont X-Tend gas leak repair

spectrrr · 01-16-2017, 01:20 PM

Had to put my X-Tend lighter in storage for 4 years while in south america, wasnt willing to risk customs stealing it. I emptied out the gas first to keep it from getting funky and gunky.
Now i'm trying to fill it up for the first time in 4 years, and it's leaking gas at the fill nozzle. Lights good, runs good, just leaks empty in 30 seconds.
Question of the day -- Has anyone taken these apart before? is that something I shouldnt have too much difficulty repairing myself, or, is the only option to send it in to dupont for servicing?
