Looking for rubber washer for Coleman propane regulator

[Scott Smith]

Greetings -

I have an old 2-burner Coleman propane camp stove. There is a washer where the regulator connects to a one-pound disposable propane bottle that has partly disintegrated due to old age. Replacement regulators are readily available for around $20 bucks, but I was wondering if there was a way to just buy a couple of the washers and have a spare as well.

EDIT: Sorry, wrong end! I need a washer where the regulator connects to the stove.

IIRC that s a sealed connection where the male hub that inserts into the 1# tank is pressed or threaded to hold the washer.
Some are part cork and rubber.

Sorry - my fault - I need the washer where the regulator attaches to the body of the stove.

If it's like my stove, it's an o-ring. . I'd pull yours, measure it and take it with you to a good hardware store for a replacement.

I still have the part, but it's pretty disintegrated and looks more like a flat washer. I could totally believe that it used to be shaped like an O ring however. I will try the O ring route as per the video. I think I have a kit with assorted sizes. I suppose that as long as it doesn't leak, it's a successful repair.
