Usually inside the van in one of the cabinets.Can't see anything like that back in the box to have another look
That made me smile.Last time I looked at a manifold it was in an Austin 1100
Thanks it's more frustrating but at least it happened now not in Ireland my mean going north instead of west. It was not set in stone.Hope yr soon sorted, Lois, xx
I was just going to make the same suggestion.There should be a Gas distribution manifold in the van somewhere, are the taps turned to the on position?
She has had the van years they have never been turned off.I was just going to make the same suggestion.
I thought of hitting it with a hammer. I've arrived home now cut weekend short consideredva box of matches as well .Hi, could be a stuck regulator, LPG can contain a greasy residue that gums up the reg. If thats the case (2 person help) whilst trying to light say the hob, give the gas regulator a sharp tap with a block of wood or rubber mallet.
Sharp tap ONLY. Oh and bottles on.
Do you have contact details please I'm going down inn the car tomorrow but could take the van the end if the week. But will need to check as the system is under warranteeYou could also drop into 3 A’s in Carmarthen. Bit expensive but may sort your problem.
There is also a highly rated LPG distributor in Carmarthen. The guy there knows his onions. Not used him myself but i have been informed that he is very good.
So have/did you try tapping it?I thought of hitting it with a hammer. I've arrived home now cut weekend short consideredva box of matches as well .

Yes she had a new regulator fitted, I've had a chat with Charlie it was the highest they could get the regulator in the small compartment it's level with the top of the bottles. Charlie (Autogas 2000) also thinks it's the regulator.When you got system fitted did they fit a new regulator?
All the pictures suggest a lower than ideal position so doubt Autogas would fit it like that.
Well done Lenny, as always, going the extra mile to provide assistance and share your years of knowledge to get a fellow funster out of an hole.Yes she had a new regulator fitted, I've had a chat with Charlie it was the highest they could get the regulator in the small compartment it's level with the top of the bottles.

The LPG distributor is called Cymru Autogas and I can see that another Funster has shared the contact details for 3As.I thought of hitting it with a hammer. I've arrived home now cut weekend short consideredva box of matches as well .

So, are you sorted now. It sounds like the kind of problem that we all might encounter at some time?Parcel arrived today I thought it was the new water bottles I'd ordered but no
autogas 2000 what amazing Service
Inside gas regulator some pipe business cards and
HARIBOs
I wasnt going to open it when i saw the business address so pleased i did
Thankyou Basildog
Should be sorted Wedesday morning the issue is i now have at my request 2 x 6kg bottles in a gas box made for 2 x 3.9kg so it's rather snug.So, are you sorted now. It sounds like the kind of problem that we all might encounter at some time?
Good to hear that you are getting there.Should be sorted Wedesday morning the issue is i now have at my request 2 x 6kg bottles in a gas box made for 2 x 3.9kg so it's rather snug.
Charlie thought I may be able to do it but because of where the Intel pipe is and it having gas in it I was not confident in my ability not to blow the van up.
Got a mobile gasman coming out to do it
Charlie spoke to him direct so they could talk in gasman language
Autogas 2000 has been brilliant along with supportive funsters
I will update on Wednesday fingers crossed its dry weather
So glad it is sorted and great recommendation for Charlie and for the mobile guys.Final update
After a recommendation from funsters Charlie autogas2000 Basildog arranged for D S Caravan Services to come and change the regulator
It's pouring down but they got it done in the very tight space as always nothing is straightforward and they have said any issues they will come back
I cannot thank Charlie enough for all his help. It's just one of those things, and typical of my luck to get the 1 in thousands with a fault.
Thanks Funsters for all your help and recommendations . Next question is where to go on the weekend
