HELP

Hi everyone, I need help with my LPG gas supply.

I have a permanant tank for LPG attached to my van for heating,water heater, cooking & Fridge cooling, The tank goes through a 37bar regulator which seems to supply plenty of gas through it. It then goes into a 8mm pipe, upto a 4 way splitter but seems very weak when it gets to the splitter. I have changed the pipe from the regulator to the splitter but no appliances have suficient supply to work.

Does anyone know of any problems i may be missing, or does anyone know of anyone who can repair in the Blackpool, NW lancashire area.

Many thanks for your time

Regards Sandy

Hi

I note it's a permanent installation, but if it includes any hose I would suspect possible inner lining come lose and blocking the pipework.

Otherwise it could be the regulator.

Don't expect very much pressure at the regulator output. 37mbar is approx 0.5 psi.

Thanks Tyreman, the regulator is brand new and the pipe work is metal which i have removed and am testing the system with  some temporary 8mm copper. Unfortunatlly the existng Regulator didn't have any marking on it.

Many thanks for your help
