As has has been said : "empty vessels make the most noise".

The Council say it is C&RT C&RT say it is not. The mystery of the dysfunctional Nottingham canal lights creating major safety concerns ...................The commitment came after two separate incidents where women had been sexually assaulted on June 20 and on July 6, with a further incident where a man had been assaulted on July 17. However, there is confusion about who is responsible for lights along the canal - lights which could improve safety. When contacted by NottinghamshireLive, the city council said the lights were not under its responsibility and referred us to the Canal & River Trust instead. But the Canal & River Trust claimed that the lights were not within their remit either, citing a series of nearby developments. The Trust said they were concerned about the lack of lighting and were working to get solar lights installed along that stretch of the canal. While not responsible for the light, the city council said it took "the safety of people using the canal very seriously" and that it had installed three CCTV cameras providing coverage of the canal. However, the stretch of canal affected by the lack of lighting is not visible from any of them, creating an effective dark spot. Sian Steans from Nottingham Women for Change, a women's activist group, said: "It's very tricky, the city council should improve the lighting in that area, I don't think the canal path is ever truly going to be a safe place for women and girls. And more .............

So, Clesse regulators are also dated. Some manufacturers quote 5 years for the regulator life, but you are OK, yours is only 5 years old and .................... How Often Should Clesse Gas Regulators Be Replaced? Clesse gas regulators should be replaced every 10 years from the date of manufacture. This recommendation is based on the understanding that regulators can degrade over time

So there you have it in writing - leaving your teenager to helm whilst you go and work the locks voids your insurance.

That works now both with, and without, my VPN

And me.

Did they end up 'in the canal' due to their 'leisurely' business practices ?

It appears that most manufacturers do date mark - how odd that you should get one without a date ! Have you purchased a cheapy-chinky version ? Richard Hakeem, director of technical and safety policy, at Liquid Gas UK explains regulators play an important role in reducing the pressure of LPG in the cylinder to the much lower pressure required to run the appliance. “If a regulator fails, it can lead to over pressurisation of the appliance and an accumulation of LPG, which is a fire or explosion risk if an ignition is present. “All regulators should have their date of manufacture stamped or marked on them and should be replaced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. If the instructions have been lost or do not give such information the regulator should be replaced not more than ten years after manufacture.” And from Flogas .......... When should an LPG regulator be replaced? Industry guidance recommends replacing LPG regulators every 10 years from the date of manufacture, unless the manufacturer’s instructions say otherwise. If you are not sure how old your regulator is, look for the date marked on it. If you can’t find it, or you would rather have an expert check it for you, it is best to speak to a Gas Safe registered engineer. And Calor Gas ................... Calor gas regulators are date marked. They typically have a date of manufacture stamped on them, which helps ensure they are safe and effective for use. It is important to replace regulators that are more than 10 years old and to follow the manufacturer's instructions for replacement.

After 15 years without a reply, I guess he has either given up, or found the answer elsewhere.

The regulators should be replaced every 10 years. There should be a date marked on it so you can find the age.

But, when they had had a run of a certain model, they'd sell on the moulds, and the 'same hull' has a new life with a different name - the OPs boat has been highlighted as such a (possible) boat..................

I used the output on the controller (right hand side 2 terminals) for the supply for the VHF radio - radio was not installed in this picture.

I am not suggesting age per se, just 'new' boats and 'old' boats (already been licenced for a year or more)

Never had that problem, but cocking-a-leg on them is not unknown.

Then you either have to pay for your non gas approved BSS inspector AND and an approved gas engineer (to do the actual gas test), or, pay whatever a Gas qualified BSS examiner wants to charge you.
