Hi Pippinpippin said:Get that stainless hose fitted PDQ.
In the three months in between replacing the regulator and fitting SS hose the dreaded gunge attacked again.
It even stuffed up the refrigerator burner gas control valve.
I AM NOW ON MY 3RD REGULATOR IN 3 YEARS THIS TIME I HAVE REPLACED MY RUBBER HOSE WITH A STAINLESS ONE LETS HOPE IT DOES THE TRICK!!!!teljoy said:Hi Pippinpippin said:Get that stainless hose fitted PDQ.

Thanks for the info. I will get it replaced immediately. Although my guy who does all my habitation stuff did say as the regulator was sited high enough the new rubber pipe should be OK till next habitation check (he didn't have an SS one in stock). I'm not going to chance it!

I am off out to get one right now!!trevorf said:I agree with pippin, get the steel hoses, its not worth the chance.
We had the problem 2 years ago, gas stopped working during the night on a cold January outing in the Yorkshire dales. Woke up at 03:00 in the morning freezing 8O 8O
New reg and steel hoses fitted - no problems since.
Just fitted the SS one. Slightly longer than what I wanted (they did not have the shorter length in stock). Going to keep my fingers crossed that nothing got through and I don't discover your problem later. So far this month I've replaced engine and leisure batteries, regulator and hose. I hope there's nothing more this season!pippin said:I forgot to mention that the problem with the fridge occurred nine months after fitting the SS hose.
The gunge had passed through the regulator into the low pressure piping and lurked there before a while before bu**ering up the fridge.
They blew out the piping with compressed air to remove it.
