gas problem

Recommended Posts

Gremlins have struck. We appeared to have run out of gas, however it is not true,, plenty left in all bottles, so traced fault to fixed regulator. Replaced hose to bottle , and then found the regulator wasnt passing any gas..age old problem of contamination blocking gasflow.

 

Fortunately, I brought a couple of old camping gas gottle regulators with me so have changed bottle and juryrigged the old regulator into the system, system and bingo, we have gas functioning again.

 

 

Close examination of original regulator shows oil film on input to regulator across the fine mesh filter.. Will have to decide permanent solution on return to uk, meanwhile use the camping gas bottle.

 

(Camping gas bottle was brought along for the BBQ)

 

What price replacement regulator, and is it warranty covered?
