....Kind of.
I got my boat into the garage, set everything up and on the first attempt there was a leak at the start of the gas pipe but i didn't think of just blowing the flame out and put my hand straight into the flame to turn the gas off.
I tightened it up and tried again and the same thing happened but this time i blew the flame out.
This time i PTFE'd the 2 of the threads and tried again and it didn't go up in flames.
Unfortunately i only got her upto 5 psi before a couple of threads started leaking so i am just waiting for it all to cool down and then i will PTFE those threads and hopefully i can get her going again but for the time being i will be sat with my hand in a bowl of cold water.
