Could just be the solenoid - some designs have two windings - energise and holding - if the holding coil fails this would give exactly the symptoms described. Starter has to come off ! Grit your teeth & prepare to sacrifice a knuckle or two springy

Padlock shims only work on "snap shut" locks, the standard BW gate padlock (not the one pictured) requires the key to lock it - in fact it wont release the key until it is locked. springy

Propane in bottles with clip on regulators is called Patio Gas. However different suppliers may use different sizes of Clip-On regulators - so if you change supplier you may have to change the regulator. springy

It may be down to actual operating conditions - boat stove flues are generally too short - if the bridges had more headroom then we could have taller flues & stoves would work better. Whilst a throat plate is intended to stop excess heat escaping, it also reduces airflow and sometimes has to be placed "out of position" or even removed to get a stove to draw properly - some days it will work fine, others particularly like todays foggy start, it will be difficult to get going with a throat plate fitted as intended. springy

Yes it would have used water, but that would be replenished by the steam powered pumps at Galton, so it could be seen as an early energy transmission system. springy

Hi Gregg Others will be along shortly with more knowledge than me but I suspect it may not be allowed - CSST is described as "flexible", this single page outline bss for boats with gas refers to "rigid copper or stainless steel" http://www.boatsafetyscheme.org/boat-examination/boats-with-gas/ and 7.8.1 of the BSS says "LPG pipework must be made of either seamless copper tube, or stainless steel tube, or copper nickel alloy." full bss pdf here http://www.boatsafetyscheme.org/media/268789/ecp-private-boats-ed3_rev2_apr2015_public_final.pdf springy

I suspect that the Morco might not even fire up as it would not see enough differential pressure across its regulator. springy

Reported in tonights Expess & Star (Walsall ed) 2 teenagers have now been arrested in connection with a series of assaults on cyclists on the towpath of the Grand Union in the Sparkhill area of Birmingham http://www.west-midlands.police.uk/latest-news/news2.aspx?id=3653 http://www.west-midlands.police.uk/latest-news/news2.aspx?id=3661 disturbing ... springy Mods :- wasn't sure where to post this - please move if appropriate

Whilst Morco do manufacture "combi boiler" units running on LPG (rated at 24Kw + ) they also require a 240v supply to run a fan, pump & electronic control system. I presume the OP is referring to a D51/61 type instant water heater (effectively equivalent to a paloma). springy

But it would need somewhere to re-circulate the heating water. The simplest effective system would have the morco used to "top up" the temperature of the supply FROM the calorifier to the taps, this is NOT ALLOWED. As BEngo says you need to valve the system such the hot taps are fed either from the calorifier OR the morco, the easiest way to do this is to use an "L-port" valve plumbed with 2 inlets (calorifier and morco) and one outlet (feed to hot taps). I did once see the same result achieved with two separate valves arranged so that the (round) knobs controlling each valve were joined back to back such that rotating this combined "single" knob simultaneously closed one and opened the other (they were actually joined with a piece of rubber hose slid onto the knobs). springy
