Hello all

Having a problem with our central heating, as I'm sure many folk are.

We're out in the country so it runs from a tank(LPG). We were out today and when we came back in the heating hadn't came on. This has happened a few times with the regulator on the gas tank and usually following the instructions on here it comes back http://www.calor.co.uk/gas-supply/lpg-bulk-tanks/r...

However what happens is if I light the gas fire it's fine but as soon as I try to light the boiler pilot light then as soon as the boiler fires it dies and the regulator goes in. reset the regulator and the same thing happens.

I faffed around the other nightand eventually got it working but no luck tonight. Any suggestions before I call out the engineer?

Cheers

Brian

Sorted-the engineer talked me through pouring warm water over the regulators on the tank to thaw them out. Warm again smile
