LP leak

colinicky · 5th May 2006, 09:22

Checked my IP's on my vision last night with a borrowed gauge .no problem my gauge has been proved to be inaccurate. The problem is that since disconnecting from the Dil lp feed it has continued to leak air .Now before I go poking at it with a srewdriver & hammer has any one got any idea's ?

So it is an inflator hose then. These have a 20c schroder valve in them, same as a car tyre. You need the right tool (which you can get from a car parts shop) but stick in the end and see if the valve is loose. Else unscrew it, clean it, or replace it with a stainless version.
