Yup, might be as simple as nip it up tight

Likely be the the small black pipes which run between the Injectors( sure they have a name but my mind has gone blank)these always seem to leak after a few years.its also really expensive for what it is.

It may be the leak off pipe for that injector. The bits of pipe that daisy chain each injector
If that makes sense.

Just seen the previous reply, must have been simultaneously writing the same reply.

Cheers for all the replies I changed the leak off pipes last year do I need a special tool to tighten the injectors? Can you buy new injectors?? Thanks Danny

You need a special injector socket that has internal relief cuts to clear the leak off spigots in order to remove or tighten the injectors. If you need new injectors most people buy them refurbished on exchange, although that might not be necessary in your case. It might just be a case of taking them out, cleaning them up and reinstalling with new flame traps (injector washers), as these are a single use part.

Cheers for the info will look on brickwerks to price up the flame traps ...Danny
