We had breakfast with Maria , Patrico, and his siblings . Monicas' friend came to look at the stove. He is a car electrician but we think the stove has a fuel related problem.

We checked that the fuel pump to the heater was working and we know the fuel pump for the stove is working as it filled the filter when we replaced it.

Received an email back from a company who has experience with a dual top so decided not to pull it apart. Hopefully we can get a diagnosis first. Booked in for early tomorrow - a trip back to North Santiago about 70km.

Went with Maria and Patrico up to a hardware shop. Finally bought a fire extinguisher. (A$20)
Had lunch at Patrico's parent’s restaurant.

John took Patrico back uptown to buy some snow chains for the wheels. AU$180. They were too short so the guy was going to source some larger ones.
