Hi just brought a new gas bottle so it's definitely full but when I turn on I can't get any gas to get though the caravan? Only thing I can think of is the regulator but how would I know??
I have worked in the industry, and I have never been aware of a Calor supplied gas bottle 'gassing off' incorrectly. There have been cases where Butane was being used in low ambient temperatures, there have been instances of regulators getting oiled up, and I have seen a couple of cylinders where the brass valve was mechanically too stiff or damaged.There have been a few instances of Calor bottles not gassing off correctly.
As stated above try turning it on when disconnected. You may have to take it back and get it exchanged.
Last winter my workshop butane gas cylinder would run for a few seconds and cut out . Sub zero temps causing “icing “. Must get round to changing it to Propane👍.The issue only happened when the cylinder was less than a quarter full. Not sure I know what “gassing off” means? A local dialect?Certainly. We were using 15kg butane bottles in a domestic heater and it would light, run for around 10 seconds then go out. Spoke to the dealer who asked me to bring it back and he would swap it.
When I got there the Calor delivery guy was there. Talking to him he claimed to have 3 more like it on board.
If I remember correctly, isn't a term used on oil rigs to allow the oil to come to the surface?Last winter my workshop butane gas cylinder would run for a few seconds and cut out . Sub zero temps causing “icing “. Must get round to changing it to Propane👍.The issue only happened when the cylinder was less than a quarter full. Not sure I know what “gassing off” means? A local dialect?
Isn't that the same as gassing off. I am not sure where I hear the term, but thought it was to do with oil rigs?I think you are thinking about , Flaring,

"Gassing off" is actually how LPG cylinders work. Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) in side the cylinder has to boil (Gass Off) to produce the gas vapour we use.Last winter my workshop butane gas cylinder would run for a few seconds and cut out .
