Poor gas feed to hob

[Daveb999]

Hi, one of the gas burners on my hob has a very poor gas feed/flame coming through. The other burner is fine.

Any hints on how to sort it?

sounds like the regulator packing up how old is your cali?

 

[Daveb999]

2021 - so just over three years

 

[calikev]

strange maybe not then they should last longer than that

Which one good and which one bad ?
If you have them both on atthe same time are they then both iffy ?

The closest to gas tank is the slow one. Furthest away works fine.

I tried that. I also took the main body off, or at least loosened it and blew air down, no real change.

Oh, I didn’t use something like that. Will order one, give it a try.

Got to be burner/jet

May be worth pointing out that in very cold weather the available pressure from the butane in a 907 is significantly reduced.

But then both jets would still have the same pressure, it wouldn’t effect just one of them.

Agreed but some may not be aware of that.

Have to admit I didnt know that, however it’s been for a while now.

 

[Daveb999]

Ive tried a few things but still no joy. A local Motorhome repair place have said they can fi it for £40, will just give it to them.

Campingaz cylinders, unless you fill them yourself, are a mixture of Butane, Propane and Isobutane and will work down to -10 c.

Mine started getting poor flow after 2 years - swapped the dodgy regulator and it’s been fine since

Campingaz 907 bottles only contain butane.

The Cartridges contain Butane/Propane. The larger 907/904 only Butane.

Apologies, if I go anywhere realy cold I'll fill a bottle with Propane.

never had a problem when staying at Knordkapp in -10c blizzard. The Parking Heater kept me warm, the water didn't freeze and the gas continued to flow from my 907.

I've found it depends how long the sub zero temperatures lasts. I've never had no gas at the burner but the pressure was so low it would not boil a kettle. Water usually freezes in the supply pipe to the tap first as it did in my new Ocean very recently but I've certainly had water tank frozen solid once.

Keeping the cupboards open with heating on helps with the pipes, I've found only propane works at sustained low sub zero temps.

Parking heaters are wonderful things minus 15 Deg C recently in Braemar and toasty warm in bed at setting 1.

72 hrs at Knordkapp at -10c, no problem Heater on constantly, just varied its setting.
