good but problems

I have several gas canister stoves and I wanted to use some off the canister and solidly supported by the tripod that this gadget offers.
Worked great for about 1/2 hour then the flame started to dwindle and eventually shut down.
No gas was coming to the stove.
Disassembled the unit in the field (need some tools), cleaned and tried again.
Worked for a few minutes and shut down again.
At home I have removed the "O" rings between the hose and the valve (both ends), removed the safety valve (redundant since the canister has one) and reassembled the unit sealing the threads with white plumber's tape (PTFE).
I am finally "cooking with gas" (the stove now works at full blast, if needed)
