Help!.
Ive aquired via a car boot sale a camping stove and grill for a bargin price of £4. this had an old tap type fitting for a gas cylinder. On advice fom my local diy store all i need to do would be cut the old regulator off and fit with a new style regulator either screw on on clip on depending on what size of bottle i use.
My question is how on earth do you fit the pipe on the regulator?? as the internal pipe diameter just seems to small?

My question is how on earth do you fit the pipe on the regulator?? as the internal pipe diameter just seems to small? Do you mean a fitting that screws straight into a camping gaz bottle? If this is the case the stove is designed to run off high pressure gas. If you fit a regulator then the pressure would be too low for the stove to work

does it have a regulator or just a tap ,some old cookers ran only on full pressure and usually from a camping gaz cylinder ,fitting a regulator will mean the cooker cannot work as the jets would be far too small for the regulated gas to get through fast enough to be the right mixture to light.
is it a Tilly Trifold or tilly more or less anything

If you're trying the original hose it may well have lost its flexibility with age - it's recommended that rubber gas hoses are replaced after a few years anyway.
