Get some Loctite pipe sealant: http://www.screwfix.com/p/loctite-pipe-sealant-63g/72039

I seem to recall that's the red stuff, in which case it's used by BA on various aircraft air & liquid systems so I'd imagine it'd be fine for LPG ;)

"Yellow sh*t" is better, but a) I don't know the proper name for it and b) I don't know anywhere to get it outside of the fitters at my Dad's place (they're plumbing things like liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen feeds @ 20bar and use this stuff)

Needs to be soething I can pick up tomorrow. Live in Brackley, work in chavtown. Neither have anything useful.


Tried ShitFix in Banbury. Waste of an hour, a gallon of LPG, and 20,000miles of rear rubber. And I checked with them that they had stock first. Banbarians = Thick inbred retards.

Only another 13 to go and you'll be able to fix the tank valve. :y

Gauge reads 50% (max=80%), as the cripple insisted I try to find some lag on this setup, and it was rude not to oblige....

break orf! :D

But before we do it again can you get some decent rubber on there please ::)

To put this to bed I had a chat with someone in the know today... It is a tapered thread and should seal at a tad over hand tight... Gas PTFE and some LPG suitable liquid stuff is just a belt and braces approach :y

The tank was supposed to have been valved and boxed when delivered >:(

They probably would take the belt and braces approach automatically... But never mind... It's a learning curve and that's another lesson learnt! And the required bits may come in hand at a later date ::)
