Gas Hose From the gas bottle { Called a pigtail }.

[Campervan_man]

The rubber pigtail generally has a service life of 5 years. Normally it has writing on the pigtail or orange hose with DOM { date of manufacture }.
I carried out a plumbing repair on an Auto-trail Tracker 53 plate Motorhome today and just happened to glance inside the gas locker before I left.
The rubber pipe was ruptured near the jubilee clip.
Please check your propane/ butane gas hoses and pigtails on your vans { date and condition } and if they are out of date / perished please arrange replacement.
They don't cost much money to buy. Better to be safe than sorry.

Good post to remind everybody to check the date on their gas hose.

When I re-took my lpg element about 3 years ago was told, they have now changed the life of a hose to 10 years, the same as a regulator. As usual, no explanation of why.
I still have the manual I'll look it up and confirm asap
