Calor stove leaking gas

Post by AlexB » Thu Apr 20, 2017 7:41 pm

I am after a solution to stop my Dormobile cooker from leaking.

Robin pointed at the o ring behind the knob, but I am beggared if I can find one.

Any assistance / photos would be very gratefully received

Thanks
Alex

Interesting - I wonder if the Calor stove uses different seals?

I'm pretty sure I remember on Patrick's and my Dudley we just took the knobs off, undid the gland nuts and replaced the O rings :shrug:

Do you know exactly where it is leaking from? Have you tried leak testing, not with a lighter (which some of us have been known to do :whistle: ) but with very dilute washing up liquid?

Cheers,
Robin.
