I have just replaced my gas hoses after much research. Finally I contacted GOK in Germany who put me in touch with Kevin from Intergasuk on 0191 548 5000. How glad am I? Not only did he supply the hoses far cheaper than a well known South Coast gas supplier, he asked me what fitting my regulator had.
Apparently I had a factory supplied KLF fitting which will (did) screw onto a 4.5kg butane cylinder BUT DOES NOT MAKE A GOOD SEAL. That explained the faint smell of gas in the locker every time the gas bottle was on. I have since spoken with a friend who also has a Jeanneau and he has the same KLF connection.
The KLF fitting is not a nut as I know it but rather a ring with notches.
Please be aware of this if you are using 4.5kg cylinders.
