Hopesy Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Hi All, While away the weekend we noticed a smell of gas coming form the locker whenever the bottle was turned on. On getting home i checked around with some washing up liquid diluted in water and found a leak from the what i think is the regulator. It's the silver unit bolted on to the back of the locker. On the left hand side of this is a small piece yellow plastic that looks like a screw head. The leak is coming form there. Before i dive in, is this repairable or do i need a new unit? . I've checked my hand books but can't find anything relevant. Any suggestions before i get the spanners out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly58 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 We had the same problem its a split diaphram in the regulator the only fix is a new one the little yellow plastic piece is the breather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Newell Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Speaking honestly if you can't even identify the regulator for what it is then you REALLY shouldn't be considering a diy fixx at all. Take the motorhome to a reputable wormshop and let them fix it. D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Collings Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Check for leaks with the appropriate leak fluid. Very cheapfrom a plumbers merchants. Washing up liquid may contain salt as a water softener that can cause corrosion. Its bad news in screenwash as well. Find an Uncle Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave perhaps i could have worded my OP better, but just so you sleep easy at night wihout worrying about me, i served a craft appreticeship some years ago now which incuded learning skills in mechanical fitting and although i didin't end up as a fitter and carried on to my trade, that side of the job was part and parcel of my everyday work. I have condfidence in my ability and even if this proves beyond me, my nephew is a gas fitter and plumber. Thanks for your concern though. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
