gas problems

[dreadnought]

hi all having gone down to our nb after the lockdown we found no gas comming through the pipes,the bottle is full,the cooker is the only appliance on boardthe only thing i can think of that can go wrong is the pigtail swap over valve,has anyone got this set up on there boat,is there anything i should be looking at,many thanks

Have you tried pushing the Push to Reset button? Is the valve on top of the bottle turned on?

Is there a difference between the two pics that I’m missing?

As David Mack says, try every valve, waggle every flexible, push every button. Have someone hold open a burner while you turn on and off each valve etc, in turn.

How do you know the bottle is full?

I really have to push the reset button hard at times after not visiting for sometime.

Is that an auto changeover valve? It might have become faulty. Close the valve to the pigtails and give it a very slight knock with a hammer or the end of a spanner, then retry.

I had the same snag, and with this type of regulator. 

Press the over pressure button 'Hard', the clear plastic button, it will 'click', it will then be free to 'jiggle' about a bit. Hot weather recently has created the over pressure to trip.

Not my diagnosis, the site gas competent Engineer fixed this for me, having no gas would be a bit of the 'stopper' now we can venture out.

OK - really stoopid question time. How do you know gas not coming through? 

After lack of use, gas takes an age to reach our hob/Alde. I hear it getting to the regulator as soon as I turn on at the bottle but I need to stand with the hob tap open and sparker sparking for (subjectively) ages before it lights.  Instant lighting once I've re-established supply.

Just a thought?

As you have already noticed, by the gas igniting. ?

That’s always a good clue...

If that doesn't work, the hammer wasn't big enough...
