Bill,
Many years ago I struggled with this problem. It seemed to always leak
no matter what I did. If I remember correctly there is a copper washer
between the nozzle and the base of the can and one on the inside as
well. At the time I was restoring my '58 I decided to solder the
nozzles/washers to the can. I figured I would never have to dis-assemble
the thing if I could solder the complete bottom. To this day I have had
zero leaks. I dont know if anyone will agree with this method but it did
work for me.
