Gas governor position Forums

Murano

Have just got one of the Calorlite cyliders and find that the gas tap on the cylinder is slightly higher than the governor. Now thinking about the problems with the governor and gunge blocking, I am thinking about relocating the governor to the top of the gas compartment but on the inside of the motorhome under the seat (there is no space in the compartment where I could put it any higher).
There are already several floor level vents under the the seat, in case of a gas leak, question is, I cannot see any problems with this idea but can anybody think of something I might have missed ?

Hi Dave,

The only problem I can think of is the fact that up to the regulator the gas is under high pressure and if you had a problem between bottle and regulator it could potentially be extremely dangerous. To make your idea work you would need the regulator to be in an extended part of the gas locker to minimise the risk.

Cronkle... had thought of that but have just paid out for all new fittings ( just changed from butane to propane) so was trying to avoid more cost.

JohnW... must admit thats something I hadn't thought of, high pressure gas leaking faster that it could escape through the floor vents.

Looks like back to the drawing board......thanks for suggestions.
