anyone got any clues as to how to make this work??...total; fail here.

i see you have returned from quitting. welcome back to runescape.

 

did you try tip.it's guide?

From Tip.it's guide:

 

16. Use your barrel of tar on the still, a window will pop up. You can turn the right heat valve up once, by pressing to the right of it. Then turn the left pressure valve up once, then the heat again, then the pressure again, this will give you the best situation to work with. Just click the furnace to add coal and see the heat arrow on the right go up. You don't have to push it all the way in the beginning, be careful not to push it past the green. If you have plenty of coal, don't even let it reach the green part to start with, the tar will be slowly distilled anyway. You can see this on the green status bar along the bottom. You'll slowly have to get the heat higher to keep it going, so use more coal when you need to. If you succeed you will end up with a barrel of naphtha. The whole process needs getting used to so be very patient.

yeah tried that...got zip results...yet another quest drags on and on and on and on and on .....

I won't name any names, but you can always try looking at the quest guides from other fansites. :-w

 

They may explain or word things in a different way that might make more sense.

did you try tip.it's guide?

yes tried the guide...really found it hard to understand...i assume by heat regulator they mean what's labelled tar regulator on the diagram??...anyhow complete failure..used all my coal and 2 barrels of stuff no results at all so back to the elf world AGAIN...another quest drags on and on and on and on and on....

Hmm try this youtube video. (I watched it quickly and it seems to explain nice and clearly what to do):

thanks those vids are often so much easier to understand...perhaps tip.it should consider providing links to these as part of the quest guides??
