This oil in the pipework is not confined to Caravans.

We also have the same problem in our Central Heating System where the oil is in the pipes all the way from the regulator on the wall 4 foot above ground level, to the Boiler wich is on the first floor some 14 foot above ground level.

Calor Gas deny all knowledge of any fault and cannot (or will not) explain how any oil could have been in the gas in the first place let alone why it is still there and contaminating the pipework between the gas cylinders and the units.

We think we may have another regulator on its way out, we lost gas pressure yesterday am when It was very cold and on rally (so no electricity) and at first thought we were running out of gas!

Couldn’t understand why the cylinder indicator was showing full and at first assumed that it was faulty indicator until we checked cylinder weight and discovered it was ¾ full.

Our first was replaced about 4 years ago under warranty, we are not sure what to do and which system to go for now?

The biggest problem is unlike the old regulators that you could easily change this stops you heating the caravan, cooling the fridge and cooking if off electric which we like to be.

Any advice or suggestions would be gratefully received.

believe someone has produced a filter,pre regulator.no more info,just remembered reading it of late. found it

 I was quite upset when I read about a filter that Truma are making at £60 to stop the failures that their regulator suffers from. We must be mad paying for these regulators approx every year at £60.I've had an expensive stainless steel pipe fitted from new.

Thanks for that I'm now all primed and ready to get it sorted - I think I need new truma regulator stainless steel hose (as its safer) and a filter!

Ok another question hope someone can help but what sort of stainless steel hose should we get?

Apparently basic caravan stainless steel hose is half the price of the Truma one?

And is the filter a separate part or is it a part of new truma regulators?
