Some of you might like to know that the outlet tap on the Gaslow cylinders contains an overpressure relief valve. (Others might say “of course there is”)
I noticed gas leaking from the set-up but only happening in bursts and then stopping.
A call to Gaslow resolved the problem. The overpressure valve was letting off excess gas and then stopping until pressure had built up again.
It is quite warm where we are in North-Eastern France this afternoon (26C) causing the gas in the cylinder to expand.
I had recently filled the cylinders and had not used any gas from this cylinder since. The one we have been using is OK.
The solution suggested by Gaslow was to remove the outlet hose from the regulator and release some gas to the atmosphere for about 30 seconds until the ‘milky looking’ gas had escaped – this is the overpressure gas. (Sad for the atmosphere, sad for my £.)
It may well be that the filling station I used allowed more than the 80% fill. It is the Countrywide site in the centre of Worcester behind Russell & Dorrell.
Gaslow have asked me to visit them when we get home (in 6 weeks) to have it all checked out.
