Hi
I ran into this problem with an old Tilley Twinfold.
I managed to find a simple solution.
I removed the old perished gas hose.
I did this by unscrewig the brass hosetail at the end of the gas hose from the cooker. You will need two 1/2" spanners.
On my stove this is a taper fitting, 1/4 BSP threads.
I obtained from BES a Butane pigtail 20" NR Butane nut X 1/4" standpipe BES Part Number: 12645
I cleaned the old jointing compound from the brass fitting on the stove.
I then aplied a small amount of gas pipe thread compound (LA-CO Slic-tite) to the threads of the fitting on the stove and to the fitting on the new gas hose, connected the fittings and tightened them.
I moved the stove outside and connected it to a gas cylinder and tested for leaks with leak test solution.
No leaks and a working stove.
I was going to just replace the hose with HP gas hose and recycle the original hosetails and crimp on some new O-clips but the hose that BES sells has a Non return valve built in, so I opted for that.
I would thing and place that makes up hydraulic hoses or fuel lines could make up a new hose if you provided the old hosetails, HP gas hose and the O-clips.
Hope this helps.
R.
