Gas low help

[Skyway]

Hi my system seam to fill very very slow I mean 1 liter 15 min at pump
What wrong none of the pipes are not twisted
I tried 3 different petrol satiation so not the pump ?

Possibly the non-return valve in the filler hose has jammed.
Not sure Gaslow fit it in the hose or bottle but whichever, it seems likely.

Sounds like you have overfilled your cylinders, if pump is really slow then stop filling as you are then actually bypassing the fill stop valve ⚠
Why do you think you are actually needing to fill ?
Often a sign of regulator failure if you keep thinking you have run out of LPG.
Message me if you would like some help .

But I have not filled up in a long time and I am full time

This seems quite common with gaslow. There's been a few threads with the same problem.

I'd unscrew the two bottle outlets (with the gas turned off). This should release a bit of pressure and hopefully allow the gas to flow again after you reconnect.

If the pump fills really slow I wouldn't force it in as there is obviously a problem somewhere.

If the suggestions above don't work and you're not far from a forecourt I would close one bottle off completely and wait till you run out on the other, then try again. I don't have both in service together preferring to use one at a time.

Why does my LPG system fill slowly?
If your LPG system fills slowly you must first ensure you have the filler nozzle correctly fitted to the vehicle filling point, if unsure follow the instructions above on how to fit the filler nozzle to your vehicle. If you find that the filler nozzle is not correctly seated to the vehicle when you start dispensing LPG, remove your hand from the filler pump button, remove the pump nozzle from the vehicle and retry fitting again. If you continue having problems fitting the pump nozzle to the vehicle Do Not continue the use of this pump, move on to another filling station.
The list below will give you other reasons for slow filling:
1. The pump you are filling from is faulty.
2. The garage has run out of LPG.
3. Your cylinders are already full and do not require filling.
4. Filler hose has been crushed or bent at an acute angle, stopping LPG flowing.
5. Filler valve where the pump fits to is jammed due to contamination.
The above list is just some examples of what can cause slow filling. If you are unsure, please always contact Gaslow for further help.
Always ensure your cylinders require filling before attempting to as one of the biggest misconceptions is that you have been away for the weekend and used some gas but on the way home decide to top up. Please bear in mind that one litre of liquid gas produces between 233-274 litres of flammable gas at 15 degrees centigrade.
If the garage has run out of LPG you may notice that the pump will prime up and start dispensing LPG at a very slow rate and then stop, sometimes only putting a few pence worth of LPG into your cylinders. If this happens, we suggest you pay for what you have dispensed then move onto another garage if you are sure you need gas.
You may find that your heating or other appliances have stopped working and assume that you have run out of gas so need to go and fill. If you have a twin cylinder system try using the other cylinder if you normally have one cylinder on and one off, if your appliances work on the cylinder you just turned on you know your other cylinder is empty and will need to be filled.
If on the other hand your heating stops working but your cooker hob and fridge continue to work this could mean you have an imminent regulator failure or a failure of the heating system. Do Not always assume that just because one appliance stops working that you have no gas, it could be another fault.
Rule of thumb is if the pump primes and fills fast then stops quite abruptly all is good, if on the other hand the pump runs fast, slows but does not stop then you must release your hand from the pump button as your cylinders have reached the 80% but the pump is trying to continue filling slowly due to a faulty pump. If the pump runs slowly from the start, then you have one of the above problems and the pump should not be used. Slow pumping of LPG at the garage forecourt is the number one question we are asked as it is assumed that more gas has been used than has!!
Please remember that an 11kg cylinder takes approximately one minute 36 second to fill from empty so if you have a twin system it should take no longer than just over 3 minutes to fill both from empty.
If you are in any doubt about filling with LPG, then please contact us
