Small gas leak.
« on: 06 October 2014, 19:46:09 »
Our gas fire, which runs off bottled gas, has a small leak.

The gas is escaping from the threads of the brass pipework.

what is the best way to stop the gas escaping?

Any idea, chaps.........

Gas paste ( like what I've got in my van) - which I should use on patio heater as that has been leaking near the pilot for 2 years.
