I was told to keep the pigtail in an upwards position so that any stuff drains back into bottle but i don,t know wether that was tosh or what but as i said earlier its been ok this year

So far...

Hi

I have a simular issue with the regulator.  It started about 3 months ago roughly.

The gas supply becomes very week and only just heats a small pan of water on the hob.  I was going to get it replaced and will at some point but at £70 fitted I will wait.

The regulator is mount above my calor lite gas bottle so any residue should run back into the bottle.

All I do is leave it disconnected and only connect it when I need it (gas is only used for cooking).  Before I connect I open the valve to get rid of any oily stuff everything is perfect.

It had been fine for about 3 years befroe it started playing up and as the regulator does work if left disconnected until needed I am thinking that I might just replace the pig tail and see if that sorts it.

Cheers
