Hi
I have a tiny, internal / invisible leak in a gas cooker. Can anyone tell me if it would be possible to fix the <4mB over 2 min leak using that tyreweld cannister for tyre punctures. I would connect it to a bicycle inner tube valve where the tube had been cut in half with one end closed and the other connected to the cooker hose with a clamp. After releasing the compound to seal the leak I would remove the venturi and pass air through the system to release the tyreweld particles. Are there any small openings in the cooker's internal workings that might get blocked? Any suggestions to the possible effectiveness of this procedure?
 
Welcome to the forum swarvega, I think your idea is not the best IMO
 
welcome to the house of fun swarvega , are you gas safe engineer ?

bod, do you really think anyone who wants to shove tyre weld into the internals of a gas cooker would be GSR.
 
Talk to a tyre fitter ,he will tell you all about the nasty mess this stuff makes .

N a s t y . . . :cry_smile:
 
swarvega welcome to the forums, as has already been said get a qualified gas safe engineer to look at this.
 
Are you some sort of nutcase ? you want to repair a cooker hose with Tyre Weld ! Why not just buy a new hose ??
 
I would recommend for you to turn of isolating valve for cooker if you have one, and call gas safe engineer to fix it
 
im saying nothing.......the smileys can say it for me....:willy_nilly::frown2::mad2::hand::rofl::32::13:

I've seen and heard of some stupid things but this is a topper. Must be in the top 3 of stupid ideas. What kind of guys are we training in this industry to even contemplate such stupidity.

I had to edit out a lot of swearing in the above sentence :smile:
