Faulty Gas Regulator.

[scotty]

Hi all,

On my last trip out in the romahome, I had problems getting the gas cooker to light. The blown air heating wouldn't work either.
I found that I had to find one spot on the regulator control knob and they would both work.
I had not had the problem with my old and nearly empty gas bottle. When I fitted a new bottle, I had this problem.

I had to buy a new regulator and that fixed the problem.

Thought it may help other newbies such as I ? I may buy a spare to carry with me in future. They look like they should never fail but they obviously do sometimes.

All gas regulators have a date stamp on them, they should be replaced every ten years but many of them go down with faulty taps before they need replacing by law, ( gas reg law anyway).

Hi Ant,

Many thanks for the info. (so many things to learn)....

I think a trip down to your garage will be required after the new year to give the van a proper safety checkout.

Cheers and beers
