Keithl Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Fesspark, Have you tried switching to any other gas bottle to make sure the problem is the Spanish gas and not, say, a failing regulator? Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelmetman Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 We're using Spanish gas with no problems, just replaced the bottle today for 15.40€........... I suspect its your plumbing :-| ............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Fesspark As you have a problem with the boiler and the fridge, it’s logical to assume that the cause lies with the gas system ‘upstream’ of both appliances and this includes the gas-bottle itself. You haven’t said when the problem first occurred as, if it showed up immediately (or soon) after connecting to the present Spanish bottle, it would be reasonable to suspect the gas in that bottle. Alternatively, if the present bottle is near-empty, this might be a factor. As Keith suggests, experimenting by switchiing to another bottle should be the first step, and it would be sensible not to obtain the replacement bottle from wherever the current bottle came from.

fesspark Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks for your replies,brits I have spoken to here in Javea think I have had a dirty gas intake from a bottle and suggest I get it checked out possibly have the system cleaned and maybe a new jet fitted, any thoughts, by the way I am on a new bottle now, 15,40 euro no change so maybe the system is chocked / Fesspark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keithl Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Fesspark, Sorry to hear a new bottle has not worked. Can you get a new regulator fitted as this will be the next simplest thing to try. If that doesn't work then it sounds like you may have to resort to a professional cleaning and possible new jets. Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fesspark Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks Keith, will probably have it checked here, possibly cheaper than the u.k There is a dometic retailer about 15 miles north from here,Regards fesspark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 What’s the situation with your motorhome’s gas hob? If you switch all of the hob’s burners to maximum, will all of the burners operate simultaneously on ‘full flame’ or is it evident that the burners’ output is less than it should be? If the burners will not operate at full blast and all at once, it’s reasonable to assume that there’s a problem with the regulator. As Keith advises, confirming whether it’s the regulator that’s the culprit should be the first thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
