Hi

I have a recently aquired pathfinder on taking it out for the third time went to cook my sausages after an hour and not even a hint of a sizzle decided to start again and cook them on the cadac. On closer inspection when we turn the gas on and light it the flame is big then drops right down turn on a second ring and the gas is almost non exsistent. I did also change gas bottle for a full one same thing happened Rang the dealer and they said yes straight away regulator on the front bulkhead will need replacing which obviously we will do for you free of charge. Just wondering could it be anything else as they have not even seen it thanks in advance

The bulkhead mounted regulators are known to sometimes clog up - I think they position them differently now to help prevent it.  This is why your dealer knows the problem and how to solve it without looking at your unit.

May sound daft but if you used Butaine and it was cold this can happen. Propaine is better in cold weather.

Apparently if you use bendable stainless steel ribbed pipe instead of rubber pipes, then this also corrects the problem.

Gaslow make these pipes.
