I bought a new Eno gas stove to replace my original Techimpex but the problem is that I cannot find a hose that fits to the stove and to the boat. Is it possible to find even only the fitting?
Bavaria used German type cutting ring (Schneidring) fittings on the Techimpex, you can buy them from SVB24. They're hard to find in the UK as there they usually use compress ring fittings (olives) instead.
I don't know what Eno used, you may need a custom hose if they have something different. Helpful if you included some photos. The Techimpex just had a pipe coming out the back.
I checked with svb24. They told me that they don't have it and to reuse the old fitting (How?!). On the photo are the old hose and the new one from ENO.
The new fitting you show is left hand thread [groove around the middle] the old one appears to be right hand ,no groove. Geoff

But how to find a fitting like the old one? I look everywhere but it's impossible to find it.
It looks like it's this one (https://www.svb.de/de/gok-gasschlauch-ueberwurfmutter-x-8-mm-rohrstutzen.html), but you have the compression ring still stuck on the pipe piece and thus the nut will not come off, which misleads you into thinking it's part of the hose. No matter, you're replacing it anyways.
Oh, you'll also need a new Schneidring (cutting ring) (https://www.svb.de/de/bavaria-schneidring-8mm-10-stueck.html). You can use the old nut. Do not reuse the old hose, that is bad advice and SVB should know better.
Interesting. After our cruise this year, the Techimpex burned the first mate in fifty exciting and dangerous ways, so we are looking at getting a new cooker (maybe a Christmas present??) hence I'm interested in how you get on quantum. Where does the other end of the flex connect? I think the flex to my cooker is probably as old as the boat!! >:D
Let us know what you think of the Eno too!
I just bought this one https://www.gaswinkel.com/product/flexibele-rvs-gasslang-8-mm-knelkoppeling-x-8-mm/ for replacing the old one. And indeed with a new cutting ring.

I got Eno hose in a kit with the cutting nut like this one - https://www.tradeinn.com/waveinn/es/eno-tubo-de-gas-recto-k71678-g1-4f-100-cm/140430978/p? (https://www.tradeinn.com/waveinn/es/eno-tubo-de-gas-recto-k71678-g1-4f-100-cm/140430978/p?)
Still don't have any impressions of the cooker as I am in marina and I can use my induction stove.
