The hose to my Tilley double burner and grill set up is leaking - I noticed a flame around the joint between hose and burner whilst trying to toast some bread the other day!

The leak is between the end of the hose itself and the knurled threaded connector which connects onto the burner unit - not as I'd hoped just a jubilee clip required, so I think I need a new hose with connector.

I've tried a camping store and a caravan place and no-one seems to have seen one before...

I've tried searching here and elsewhere online but to no effect yet.

Does anyone know where to get spares for such a thing? It must be about 15 years old now.

if its a rubber hose then most camping shops sell the replacement stuff in low or high pressure versions
if it detaches at that point it maybe just a replacement seal needed.
not played with tilly gas cookers for years since i had my trifold

Thanks - I don't think the problem is the hose but the connector. Looking closely at it - it's crimped onto the end of the hose and the connector itself rotates freely to 'screw' onto the burner/cooker. So I guess I need a new hose/connector assembly... or a new cooker altogether...

Have a read of these two threads - it appears that possibly you may need a specific high-pressue hose if your stove has a direct (unregulated) supply from the cylinder.

Hi flamenco

I'm just wondering if you had any luck with this. I have the same problem - the connector appears to be crimped permanently onto the now-broken hose and I can't seem to find a replacement connector for a new hose. Did you manage to find one or a substitute that does the job?

Thanks for any help

we had to scrap our cooker when this happened as the hose ect are not a standard size- you could try the tilley website as we were told about this site after we had got rid of it!!

good luck -they are great cookers much better than the replacement we bought.

Hi - I gave up in the end and bought a new cooker (Kampa - which is EXACTLY the same as the Tilley apart from the connection for the gas hose and the fact it has two push-button igniters). I've had to buy a quick connector to go in the hose so I can leave one end permanently on the cooker, the other on the gas regulator and then join them with a push and twist. I used a stanley knife to cut the old connection off the hose.

BTW - the guy in the shop (SSS Camping, Huthwaite) gave me an excellent tip for pushing the hose onto the tapered stem on the cooker (I told him I'd tried and it wouldn't go on very far) - he said to bash the end of the hose with a mallet for a few minutes - and he was right - it warmed up the rubber enough to go straight on!

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.
