Thank you TB.  I'll replace it with some standard hose tomorrow and get some proper hose in the week.

No, No, No! LPG is a potent solvent and the liquid is under significant pressure. Do not use standard hosing, use the correct automotive LPG certified tubing please. Unless you want things to explode.

D.  I was going to use a bit of coolant pipe I have in the garage.  Just a temporary measure for a few days...... Is that a definite no no?  :-\

I think what D was trying to say was...

Are you completely mental?

Best, ie safest ::), bet is to run it on petrol until you have ordered the replacement hose from Tinley Tech on Monday :y

Might also be worth acquiring a selection of spring clips at the same time :y

The page you need for the parts you need :y

Alternatively you could pop into Avon Autogas tomorrow for a friendly chat and see if they will sell you a bit of hose.  ;)

Please don't use coolant hose or even the standard orange household/caravan LPG tubing. They are meant to handle vapour, not liquid lpg under pressure.

Been out to have a proper look to see if I could indeed shorten the pipe and found the pipe to be in-tact and all is well.  What isn't quite so good is one of the vac? lines has snapped off of the MAF, this is where the leak is.

Anyone got a spare Stag PS-02 MAF?  They look to be around £45 new, so not a major headache.  ;D

Stag doesn't use a MAF  :-\

Do you mean pressure sensor?
