Recent hot weather meant I dusted off my old gas BBQ and fired it up. After a few minutes I found flames come out behind one of the control knobs... Disconnected the gas and took it apart.
Gas bottle feeds a horizontal pipe which runs behind the knobs. The knobs then open a valve to allow the gas to flow out to the burners running front-to-back (right angles to the horizontal pipe).
Problem appears to be a perished washer between the control valve and the horizontal pipe, so a little gas was escaping and ignited. Replacing the washer should fix the leak.
Problem is that it's a weird washer that I'm not used to, so I don't even know where to look for a new one (or what it's called). It's sandwiched between a pipe and the control value that rus at right angles.
Anybody know what it's called please or when I can buy a new one?
