has had enough of it im Threaders. 

Spent all day sorting out the Gas leak that i thought we fixed but clearly didnt but its never that easy had to take the vapourizor out to undo the cap to replace the seal but to take the Vapourizor out you have to drain the coolant ( just bl*#+y changed it !!!!)


Well put it all back together and low and behold still leaking so round again  but this time she decides she going to cut my arm open and i now also have a lump / bruise forming between my knuckles which doesnt seem to wanna stop swelling. icepack required i thinks lol

Now i am just waiting for the liquied gasket to set then im going to test her again.

so god help her it best have worked or shes toast!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you tried spraying soapy water on all the suspect areas?  When you find the leak you'll see it straight away

Chin up old girl

ihave found the leak but there is a v tiny chip out the leading edge fofthe mating surfaces so the standard o ring seal doesnt seal it

have gone into work and robbed some neoprine and made a flat seal that goes beteen the surfaces and filled the chip with liquied gasket. tightened it up and now i wait how long does vx liquied gasket taketo go off?

now i am on the hunt for an lpg filter as hewants to bill me £40notes for one lol

and less of the old you pmsl 

[dbug]

I'd leave it overnight to play safe

24 hours normally, but I guess it depends on how much you used.  Did you clean the surfaces with a suitable solvent?

You could try eBay for filters, some fairly decent prices on there.

And you said it yourself, you ARE the SENIOR service.

didnt need alot just enough to fill the v some chip

just looking on ebay now lol

and if this dont work ill need a new vaporizor 

really not a happy bunny just wanna cry!!!!!

If it doesn't work the way you have tried how about filling the chip with JB weld and when dry filing/sanding it smooth so the O ring works again on its own

not a bad idea ....

well hubbys neoprine gasket didnt work just cut through it

so i have just removed the end and cleaned it all up

ptfed the thread then put liquied gasket round the mating edge then put the o ring back on then added a little more liquid gasket so when i tighten it up it squeezes out filling said chip. letting it set over night and pray it is enough

i am on the verge of tears she is beeting me and i dont like it!

It's a bit early for bonfire night, so hang on in there young girl. 

If you can't reliably repair your vaporizer, you maybe able to get a cost effective replacement off fleabay.

Marie, post up a picture of the offending item

I might be able to get a decent price on a replacement Vap and filter if you need it as I can still get in touch with Teilo (sometimes )

Upload to a photo hosting site like photobucket... There's a guide somewhere.

Sorry, I read it like it was off the car overnight

Is it actually the vap leaking or where something connects to it?

[Marie]

sorry its a bad pic would have done a better job if i known it wasnt going to go to plan

[Lazydocker]

Can't actually see the damage you refer to but have PM'd a potential solution
