Won't be HOT tomorrow.
« 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!

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!

Is the pump before the boiler? Try turning the flow rate up to 99 too.

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

Maybe, but I doubt they make these for the fun of it!

eBay item number

331027173403

Flashback arrester for under £15.

Some mate of yours he is! Lol. I'm sure yours is a better and safer make mind.

I'm toying with the idea of ordering one. It makes sense. One spark in the gas bottle. Kaboom.

Yes Dave, I bought the natural gas one from the link sometime ago, but managed to get it swapped for the Propane one.

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.

7l pump is 2l higher than most of us use. Probably just need to cut your flow rate down a bit.
