As you can see the frame is only held on by 6 10ba screws

Only an idea it is now at the stage i could steam it up and see what happens but the real problem is the burner i cannot understand why it burns so long with only 5mls of meths can`t see a restriction but there is something not correct. Could be the wick holder is too long but truthfully i have no idea so really can`t give any further update until the problem is resolved was going to try some tests today but just to warm in the greenhouse, when i said it burns too long the initial flame is quite high then it peters out with the flame quite small really need to find an answer. Might be a clue in the background.
