fitting a Westy gas tank

Post by **lhd** » 22 Oct 2007, 13:02

Has anyone had to re fit an underslung tank due to it having been previously removed?

All is fine from the tank to the inside of the cupboard But I am missing from there to the connector before the taps...

I cant seem to get the steel pipe that is missing "8mm" and these olive things.

also does the pipe have to be flared and how to go about it?

I have a length of pipe and an olive left over from where they fitted a gas bottle but am not 100% sure about it.

many thanks

Rob.

Why was it removed?

If you dont know what you are doing then dont do it... a gas leak will kill you while you are asleep...

Whats the condition of the tank? if its 15-25 years old and scabby... you may want to consider a new tank etc....

Speak to Gasure they should be able to help..

Thanks for the advive toomany toys.
The tank was removed before I bought it, this one has been shipped over from Germany.
I also have a gas detector and will also test the two joints for a gas leak.
its the pipe bending/flaring bit that I'm not sure about.
I was hoping to get Pete to have a look at it next time we met up but as you may of heard he's not to well at the mo.

Any help apreciated....
