I could be wrong but the guild and its linked website, look like they are giving advice to there members on how to make a diy gas set up.
As I said I could be wrong.
My advice would be , dont do it. I am sure the fed would give advice along those lines too.

Dave,
I hear what you're saying and to some degree, I can see you are making a valid point. It would come down to interpretation I suppose.
However, after re-reading my own posts and those of other members on this subject, I think it is fair to say they are in no way offering advice. They have done their own research/testing and offered it up on a discussion forum for "
discussion". When questions have been asked - answers have been given (from their own perspective).
Surely that is no different to somebody saying soft rubbers are rubbish or hard rubber are brilliant? - they have done their own research and come to a conclusion which they have shared when the subject arose.
There are literally hundreds of posts covering hundreds of topics, gas systems is just one of them.
Gas systems seem to form a rather large part of
discussions on CIU as well
Should we delete/ban them on CIU?
You have opened up a very interesting topic though - - -
Should we also ban discussions of DI vessels in vehicles....surely a breach manual handling Regs?
What about discussing carrying poles without using 'safe' containers...surely a breach of MHSWA?
What about systems that have not been ergonomically designed forcing the user to lean or step into the vehicle to reach controls....surely a breach of PUWER and MHSWA and Manual Handling and WAHR?
......should I go on?
If the Fed or CIU was accepting payment from companies that offered products which possibly breached any of these Regs...do you think it fair to say that as they brought them to the attention of members (through paid advertisement) that they should be held jointly and severally liable for any breach or civil/legal action?
If Nat was selling a guide on
'How To' set up a gas system, then that would be a totally different kettle of fish...and I'd be right behind you 100%
The Guild offers far more than just this one topic so I think it would be unfair to suggest Nat is taking money to seel a
'How To' guide.....all just my own thoughts of course
Regards
David.
