All sorted now, thanks to all for the input

The 90 degree fiting as actually on the regulator and a standard pigtail screws straight onto it.
I needed this for the weekend so opted for a complete replacement pigtail. Absolute doddle to sort and now running butane.

Thanks again to all.

Regards
Tony

Where have you been for the last 6 years?

The rules have changed!

OP do you have 2 regulators in the system or is the bottle fixing just a clip on?



Im sure a lot of members on here did not know this me included so no place for sarcasm.

I recently switched to Propane Gas and all I done was changed the regulator. Have I done something wrong? The cooker works fine although I find the gas slower to heat up???

No you haven't done anything wrong at all as I did exactly the same on my 1999 caravan without any problem but some folk on here with posh new caravans assume that we should all know different regarding state of the art gas regulators. The trouble is with some of these new kids on the block is that some seem rather conceited with their replies but fail to realise that many of us have had many more years caravanning experience. Thanks to Jeff for your input as well as my thoughts are mutual.

Thanks Tango your link

Made me look at the ccc site to find out as we have what looks like to me a strange setup for the gas as I am still in the era of the old regs. having to be changed so its all new to me. As we now have a caravan the need to know is there. It is all weird to look at to me.

 But then I will probably have more knowledge than others at different things and a lot LESS than others at  most things17 

 That is what sharing is all about .Each puts a little input in for others to learn. Then we all gain something.
