Title: Won't be HOT tomorrow.
Post by: rah on December 03, 2013, 06:57:31 pm: We me and cheif op had the day rigging out the van ( Pic's will follow)

However, we can't get the boiler to ignite ::)roll Maybe air or a long day and light going, so we wrapped it.

Also, Not sure what regulator people are using, but apparently, you need one with a flash back fitting, mate of mine runns a welding/ air product supplys and even with 30% discount! still came in at £75.16 :o however, better safe than sorry!

Post by: David Kent @ KentKleen on December 03, 2013, 07:18:29 pm: Regulator around £10.00
Unless all caravan users are using the wrong ones as well??
Have you got enough water flow through it. If you dont it wont ignite!

Post by: jarvy on December 03, 2013, 07:39:09 pm: Is the pump before the boiler? Try turning the flow rate up to 99 too.

Post by: David Kent @ KentKleen on December 03, 2013, 07:42:10 pm: Gas turned on?

Post by: David Kent @ KentKleen on December 03, 2013, 07:43:14 pm: If it has a water flow numpty on the front of the heater that needs adjusting too.

Post by: jarvy on December 03, 2013, 07:45:18 pm: Probably that £75 regulator :o

Think he just made £75.16 off you that wasn't totally necessary. :)

Thousands of these boilers are out there and being used without too many explosions. ;D

Post by: Dave Willis on December 03, 2013, 09:30:00 pm: You have bought a propane boiler and a propane regulator haven't you?
Title: Re: Won't be HOT tomorrow.
Post by: rah on December 04, 2013, 05:01:58 am: Yes Dave, I bought the natural gas one from the link sometime ago, but managed to get it swapped for the Propane one.

Post by: dazmond on December 04, 2013, 07:36:05 am: use duracell batteries for ignition.also turn the flow control dial on heater right down and pump controller up.make sure gas is on and it should work fine.

if its still not working get a normal gas regulator for a tenner and try that.

Post by: Dave Willis on December 04, 2013, 07:42:37 am: 7l pump is 2l higher than most of us use. Probably just need to cut your flow rate down a bit.
