I am after quick release gas fittings similar to the air compressor air styles for a camper stove. I have seen them used in a camper but cannot find anyone who sells them. Tried a plumbing supplies but they couldn’t help.
Any ideas

Might want to take a look at the USA new air comporessor fittings.
They use a plastic pipe that can hold 10,000PSI and the fittings pop into each other and lock you turn to release them.
Look a hell of a lot better and safer than the nitto air compessor fittings, as you can use gas and air or water through them, the fittings are also rated to 10,000PSI as well and don't leak or use the steel band/screw to hold the fitting.

what about the air hoses and fittings used on truck gear boxes to work the splitters? should be easy enough to get from a truck shop

What about some duct-tape and some straws of different sizes, so they slide over eachother and then you use the duct-tape to hold them there???
do not use anything but fittings rated for use on LPG, YOu are playing with fire here, literally.

This is the stuff I was talking about.
it's rated to 29.6" vacuum and 232 PSI fully sealed etc.
Uses aluminum pipe, so wouldn't have much weight, more for the home install but if you used rubber bushes around the pipe might be fine for a 4wd.
