Gas Leaks

Hi all

As some of you probably know, Storm Force has been suffering from gas leaks since the RL event in Edinburgh last year. The gas has been escaping from underneath the red things on the valve blocks. (Circled in picture in following link)

Thats probably where the pilot supply exhausts, in which case the valves probably want stipping down and cleaning. Without looking i'm not sure.

OK, I'll take a look out in the garage and inspect. What do I need to use to clean the valve blocks do you know?

Thanks

They have to be stripped down and clean all the seals, very fiddlely and if they go back together wrong they wont work again.

First thing is to test is what pressure you are running, too high or rtoo low can casue problems, the other thing it to squirt some WD40 into the valve through the inlet port (will be the pipe going in the bottom).

Did both valves start leaking at the same time?
