Which one?

Agaze 8800A adjustable sensitivity flashes and bleeps when find leeks I've never used one and found this easy to use. If getting 1 don't pay out for next day delivery mine came next day on free delivery

Finally got it sorted could not locate the leak using a spray (too small) nice gas technician man offered to come and have a look for £78 p.h........got a gas sniffer £28 from amazon on most sensitive setting found leak at two joints gave them a little tighten problem solved retested and safety  certificate in the bag.

Thanks again for all the suggestions

Thanks again I will .pick up some spray tomorrow and let you know how I get on. The leak is minor gas safety chap didn't think it a risk but had to rightly fail us.

Thanks all I'm on the Calder and Hebble at Horbury near Wakefield. Soapy water sounds like a good starting point. Gas runs to boiler, cooker and fridge think I will start at locker and work my way through the entire system. Got to walk the dog first so sorry if I don't reply to posts for a while

[Gas leak]

Thanks we had gas supply to all appliances turned off still dropping suggests it's in the pipe/connections somewhere 

[Gas leak]

My boat safety inspection has identified a minor gas leak somewhere in the gas system

option 1 pay a gas technician to find the leak and fix it 

option 2 spend £50 at screw fix for a gas sniffer and try to do it myself

option 3 find a friendly local boater (Wakefield area) who owns a gas sniffer who is willing to lend it to me or would run it around the pipes in return for a few drinks.

If you could recommend any one for option 1 or fit the bill for option 3 I'd love to hear from you 

cheers

Many thanks

The pin did the trick. I think I will buy replacement pressure switch to repair pump as back up and buy new pump.

Thanks again

My seaflo water pump (SFDP1-033-035-41) has gone mad sometimes not working after using the shower now not stopping. I think its time to replace it. Seaflo dont seem to have a good reputation without spending a fortune what make would people recommend? My current one works at 35psi through an accumulator do I need to look for 35psi again?

Any help much appreciated

[filling screw holes]

Thanks for the suggestions bit of welding it seems to be.

[filling screw holes]

I am replacing my leaky pancake vent with a mushroom. As the diameter of the mushroom is less than the old vent I will be left with 4 screw holes in the roof. Can anyone suggest how to fill them and make it water tight before a coat of paint.

Cheers

[How to get to the end]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but if you go on a topic ie Friday joke with 110 pages how do you get to the last page? Often see stuff I want to return to see what as been added but don't want to go through page by page to get to the end

Thanks techno thicky treddie

It's basically a mini green house to give all the veg seeds chilli etc a head start and stop frost.

[NBTA protest]

Begining to wish I'd never mentioned the not for profit idea

[NBTA protest]

Perhapse it would be better if CRT was a not for profit company rather than a charity

[NBTA protest]

Interesting point Dave what is the situation on living on a leisure mooring? People obviously do in certain places do CRT turn a blind eye or is there a loop hole?
