Having heeded the advice that flexible gas hose only has a limited life span , I've been looking around for a replacement and found both 8mm and 6.3mm hose listed as suitable for use.
Does anyone know which I should buy ? Is the 1.7mm difference enough to worry about providing I tighten the clips up properly ?
I'm using a Campingaz 907 cylinder.

Re: Campingaz Hose
You will be wanting the 8mm gas hose and a couple of good quality clips.

Re: Campingaz Hose
I'm not sure if there's a "legal" maximum length for a rubber gas hose, but there is good reason to keep it as short as is practical for your particular purpose because the flow rate of gas is slower through a rubber hose than through fixed copper piping, so a pressure drop may occur in a long run of it.
Definately 8MM hose on a Camping Gaz reg though
