Hi all,
Came home today and turned on the gas to boil the kettle. The flame on the hob got smaller and smaller until it disappeared as happens when the gas bottle has run out. This would not be unusual but we only replaced the gas bottle a week or so ago.
I went out to the gas locker to check the connection and I could smell gas in the locker. It appears that there is a leak, either at the connection at the gas bottle to the gas hose pipe or from the hose pipe itself.
I have closed the valve on the gas bottle to prevent any further leaks and have closed the gas valve that allows for the flow of gas into the oven to be on the safe side.
I imagine that the problem is with the hose rather than a faulty or leaking gas bottle, so is there a way I can test the hose to see if there is a leak, and can I replace the hose myself or do I need to get someone to take a look at it?
Thanks
