Anyone know where I can't get a new hose for a Bullin T4 stove? Ive obviously had it to close to my stove and melted the inner core inside the braided outer, it's leaking. I thought it would be quite straight forwards but it's actually a push fit on the stove side. I can't find it anywhere as a replacement.

I had the same problem, just bought a new stove in the end. From memory, I think the new one has a screwed end, so should be replaceable in the future.

Did the same and ended up buying another stove as could not find spares.

Just looked online at the price of a T4 these days. They've gone up a bit. 
Think I paid about 22 quid for mine about 5 years ago. £35 was the cheapest I found. Might be worth trying to source a replacements pipe at that price..

Hi that's it, it's like crimped but if you pull it does come off and it's a push on connector fitment. What a pain, loads of screw replacement hoses but just not the push over type.

If mine started leaking I'd get the crimped section off, end cutters and junior hacksaw, then find find some suitable tubing.

Same happened to mine, bought a new stove, I did contemplate a repair but thought it was too dangerous to take a risk !

I got a couple from Amazon, around £8 each. Cut the crimp off the old stove, the new ones came with thread at the stove end, cut this off with side cutters, add a short length of shrink tube to stop the wires catching etc. I then used some 1/4” Double ear O ring clamps and crimped these over the stove inlet. Worked a treat

That's great info.
I'd seen these 1/4” Double ear O ring clamps before on other gas fittings on camping stove and bbqs but had no idea what they were called.

I noticed a small leak on the Bulin T4 braided hose right next to where its crimped onto the stove inlet.
This is where the hose starts to coil up when packing it away, cheapo china rubber!
I used a junior hacksaw to make a couple of cuts on the crimp then levered it off, much easier than I'd imagined.
I put a couple of wraps of electrical tape just past the crimp and used the saw to cut through the baided sheathing and rubber hose. The tape is essential to stop the braid unravelling.
I found some thick heatshrink I had and replaced the electrical tape with the heat shrink, and trimmed a few protruding wires flush.
I had forgotten about the clips mentioned previously (1/4" Double ear O ring clamps) so sourced a 7-9mm fuel hose clip and it worked great.
