Cheers Al.  I don't think I've got enough length (story of my life) to 'make good' the hose.

It should stretch when warmed and manipulated

Bloody jubilees. Oppsing useless bloody things. If they aren't leaking, they seize then leak.


I always remember a thread on here with Marks Dtm saying the gm water pipe clips where superior. I thought he was mad at the time, but was absolutely right, as usual.

as TB said I dont think the amount of leak will cause this sharp power loss..

I do use Junbilee clips and replace those bloody stupid hose clips wherever possible, but I do place a thin rubbed beneath them (such as a section of bicycle innter tube).  As long as they are not over tightened, they work perfectly well.  If ham fisted spanner monkeys who tighten them up to "FT when some" which causes the damage.

I'm optimistic.  I have seen the receipt for the installation, and it wasn't done on the cheap.

I am.  Very new!  But all the LPG companies use Jubilee Clips.  In an ideal world, everything would be crimped (much like A/C or HP PAS) but that's not really possible, so the next best thing, a Jubilee.

Nothing aftermarket comes with those silly Hose Clips.

Rubber compresses. Obviously. But over time it stays compressed. This means jubilees need constant tightening to keep the same pressure on the circumference of the hose. The spring clips, effectively, automatically adjust. Insuring constant and equal pressure around the hose, regardless of how old or compressed the rubber becomes over time. The spring clips also don't have a flat or uneven pressure that the worm housing gives.

From experience, you WILL find that the jubilees will leak periodically, and need a tweak.

But hay. You know best ...not my oppsin car anyway.

  I did have a fag on when she said she heard the 'sizzling' noise.  The Gas line comes in just next to the Header tank...... I thought it was just the venting into the header tank she could hear (I am partially deaf).

I had the fag behind my back, and thankfully so!

I do hope your joking. Or has whatever is in the Huntingdon water spread to Bristol?

'Tis a true story.  I've been drinking bottled water from Reading recently.  Same as you, I believe?

Bottled water from Reading? Bottled fosters might still be floating about.

Too many carrots maybe?
