Subject: Re: Kigass copper pipe
Hi Richard,

Squashed Ki-Gas pipe is a common complaint which, as Chris mentioned, can be remedied with new pipe. It should be silver soldered but do not use too much heat as the brass fittings can be easily melted.There are different grades (and meting points) of silver solder. If you do not feel confident to do this yourself, go and see someone who makes jewellery.

The Ki-Gas was also fitted to the Churchill tank but the pump is quite a chunky affair with a "T" shaped handle as opposed to the dainty circular top of ones on a Lagonda.

Cheers
