Now as I understand it, the extend-a-stay plumbing into the on-board gas system is incredibly simple.
There is a 't' piece between the on-board gas tank's valve and the on-board regulator.
You attach a gas bottle to this 't' piece.
When you want to use the gas bottle, it's valve is opn and the on-board valve is shut.
To use the on-board gas the bottle's valve is shut and the on-board one is open.
Now it seems to me that the PROCEDURE for switching either way should not matter (which valve sequence to use). A little air might get in somewhere along the line (when changing to on-board gas whilst you change bottles for exampl) but this will be expelled and all will work in a few seconds.
Last night I had an issue...
I ran out of bottles gas whilst cooking. No problem, I thought, popped out of the van and opened the on-board valve, closed the bottles valve.
No gas at the cooker.
If I left the hob switched off for a minute or two, the gas would light but with a few seconds, die and go out. No gas.
(On-board gas is 3/4 full)
Tried several times, several ways - no joy. Left hob switch on but no sound of air/gas.
Tried fridge on gas but no joy.
Had to borrow a new bottle and revert to bottled gas for the night.
Just tried the following this morning:
Checked all working on bottle - all ok.
Opened on-board valve (bottle still connected and open) - all ok
Closed bottle valve (still connected) - all ok
Removed bottle - all ok
Now that plainly makes no sense.
Anyone offer an idea as to what went wrong last night?
I don't think it was air in the line as I left the hob switched on and heard no air/gas coming out. Tried lighting but it would not light. Switched hob off for a minute and it then lit but died within seconds - as if some gas had built up pressure.
