Hi

Apparently it's the 'gas train' - burner/control valve/hose and regulator - that is subject to all sorts of gas safety standards so any attempt to modify those things are not only unsafe but illegal.

As it happens, I have resolved the issue with Weber who, to be fair, are limited by the laws ...
