I went away this weekend and noticed that when i have 1 hob on the gas flow is ok.

But when i put 2 hobs on the pressure and flow of gas hardly comes out.

Does anybody have any idea?

 

Thanks

Sounds like the bottle could be nearly empty, otherwise how old is regulator? Bottle top regulators don't last forever & bulkhead regulators have been known to fail after just a couple of yrs.

Agree about the gas problem. But I have had the same regulator for years and it's as good as the new one I keep - just in case! ( I caravan all year around so I use propane as butane won't gas off below freezing as I guess many of you have found out one frosty night! )

Bill. I Wild Camped at Nant Mill many years ago. Got shifted after a week but went back a few times! LOL

ok as Tentz says if its bulkhead regulator then this a probable cause because they have not solved this problem as yet.i met a man in the caravan across last October and his had packed up and he was waiting for the engineer.

 I would suggest you try the pipe from the regulator to the Hob it does deteriate with age the date is usually on the pipe Hope this helps

I had this problem a few years ago except that I had no gas even though the bottle was full. The warden even tried a brand new bottle but it still wouldn't work. I had it checked out and it turned out that it was the bulkhead regulator. It was to low down and had to be replaced, this was done free of charge by the dealer.
