I wonder if anyone else has had this problem.  Last week I got a fresh calorlite gas cylinder but have had a problem fitting the gas connector.  I found it difficult to persaude the thread to engage and then found it almost imposssible to tighten the fitting
sufficently to make a gas-tight seal.  I did get it tight enough in the end but I am now concerned that I may find it a challenge when I come to undo the connector to replace the cylinder.  Does anyone have ideas as to how best to overcome this problem?  Is
it a sound idea to use WD40 on the gas fiitngs and would that help?  Any ideas and comments will be greatly received.  We are setting off for a month in Scotland towards the end of March so are keen to have everything working well.
