poxy things keep allowing lpg to leak by.

wheres the best place to source gm type water hose clips and pliers...?

18mm diameter hose iirc

[05omegav6]

Breakers or GM

The ones on the radiator aux pipe plumbing might be a suitable size...20mm iirc

Will it make any odds if there's a significant difference in LPG pressure vs. water pressure? (I don't know the answer to this, btw, or even if the pressures differ .. it's just a thought)

my Zavolli set up has the type of clip that requires a crimping tool-got mine from a lpg place on fleebay

twin eared crimp on clip used on oxy acet bottle connections?

er, maybe. Thing is, it doesnt seem to matter how tight the jubilees are, the rubber hose retracts, it leaks, but the clip cant adjust until i do it up again, obviously.

if it was spring loaded, the rubber can retract if it wants, the water hose clips hold a constant tension, plus they dont have the almost flat area behind the screw, which is exactly where the water pipe modifications to the vaporisor have leaked in the past, although thaty was aminor thing partly due to using plastic elbows as a get by.

having removed water pipes from hbv's etc there seems to be plenty of grip on the pipes.

But its a good point, is there comparable pressure between water and gas systtems...?

is 1.1 bar of gas pressure relevant to the whole post vap system?

similar  but mine only crimp one side

my water pipes are double wall thickness with cord running through it-they dont do what yours are

Any good?

they would if they had jubilees on them, trust me.

hence gm use those awkward spring clips like they do.

They fly very well though-I took 1 off ages ago and it slip from pliers and shot off-never did find it

[feeutfo]

the top ones come in the lpg kit and artent sdo good for the 11?mm injector hose.

but the bigger ones are exactly what i had in mind. Thanks RobG.

but are they suitasble for gas? hmmm.... thoughts please.

After that clip rocket did that-as soon as 1 need doing on a car--I get my mate to do it

[feeutfo]

So anyone know if LPG post vap pressure is comparable to water hose pressure....?


Although.... I could put both jubilees and hose clips on I suppose.
