I share your passion for fly fishing mate.

I think that you need to get a Gas Safe Registered engineer to advise you with this.

Hi fly fisherman.
please get a gas safe registered engineer to sort this for you. It sounds like a disaster waiting to happen mate.

LOL! Well said.

 

[flyfisherman]

ok thanks for the help lol i will leave it to the experts

Good, and check your engineer has his LPG qualification. Ask to see his card, and check the qualifications, and dates on the back. He'll be suprised you asked for it (as no one does!) but a qualified gas engineer will be only too happy to let you see it...and will definelty have it in his wallet.

In 2 and a half years on the oil I've been asked once to show my card

I'll be getting my own greasy oil card next month, so I can keep that in my wallet too!

I like the:
