Safefill Connection (Quick Question)

Agree with Fysherman.  It is possible to overtigthen them.  It may be worth removing them and feeling with your finger to make sure than no grit or dirt has contaminated the surfaces. With a significant leak you should be able to smell it. 

It couldn't be something as daft as you think your HW is on electric but actually it's set to gas?

Thanks for your comnents. I couldn't figure out how to post picyures but when I went to fill up at a lovely safefill retailer north of Nottingham I was able to buy a pigtail with handle which someone mentioned earlier. A kind guy on my CL then changed it for me and it seems to have some the trick.

That's great Tracey. Thank goodness for that eh? Not good to have leaking gas anywhere but particularly in a caravan! Must have been the old tail then? 

I spoke the the guy at safefill who said only use the handwheel pigtail with the rubber seal

Interesting dakota - I went to the local Calor store looking for a wheel fitting - and was told they weren't made - HA HA serve me right for going near Calor I suppose but it was handy to where I was at the time.  I have a stainless steel one for the safefill and now two more wheels for the BBQ at home and camping stove. 

I think the hand wheel tails are all made with rubber seals. I tried to use mine with a 3kg Calor cylinder that I had had for years- just to use it up and get rid of it but found the wheel fouled on the top of the cylinder itself. I gave it to my daughter who camps together with my old (but in date) rubber tail.. Not a calor cylinder in the place now and there never will be if I have anything to do with it. Thanks to Neil and John at Safefill for bringing freedom of choice to EHU and non EHU caravanners alike who need LPG - and for saving me a small fortune on refill cylinders.
