I have a gas grill purchased in the United States, but the valve to attach to the gas tank isn't the right size to fit the gas tanks sold here. Anyone know where I can buy a valve adapter? I asked the company that supplies that gas tanks and it wants to charge me S$100 for the pleasure of doing it, which irks me to no end since the adapter is probably only worth S$10. Or do I have no choice? Thanks.

Just cut the valve off the hose and buy a local regulator for the tank end of the hose. $60 and $1.50 for the circle clamp. Simples

Nice to see you're still giving useful advice SMS! I did this for our portable Weber a week or so after moving to Singapore and if I remember correctly you advised me.

If it is something like a Weber, you see here that a hose (local spec) is S$99.

You could call the above people and enquire if there is an adaptor, rather than an entire new hose. Or go to 'Handyman Centre', @Shaw Centre, Scotts Road and ask. Or perhaps you could contact them via their Facebook page ...

Absolutely perfect, striped bass are moving inland now and will hit anything on the surface dawn and again at dusk.
I lurk quite a bit, never post because I'm not a very good resource for information about Singapore. I leave that to the experts like you!
