I can't quite make this work. 13ac I have an "n" fourth letter which looks correct with 6dn and is 21dn but doesn't make the correct across word. What have I done wrong?

"What have I done wrong?" You haven't given us the relevant clues, letter counts and any placed letters!

There are no clues to any of these. They are made from each other. It's one of those kind that you have to be doing in order to help.

38d and 21d make 13a. That is what I have.

I am missing two.
15d and 24d.

Old rifle was not missing fuel (6)? I am pretty sure that "fuel" is the definition and that I have the answer, but I am mystified by the wordplay. Any hints?

Your 38 is wrong. If you check what will fit at 13A this should put you right.

The two letters removed from the old rifle, to give the answer/fuel, mean 'not' - it's in Chambers.

Helveticus, my reply assumed - rightly or wrongly - that you had the word for 'rifle'. If you don't, there's a two-letter word, meaning 'no', that can be inserted into the 'fuel'!
