problems with gas hob output.

little me

Hi, I have I smeg double over with a 6 burner gas hob. It was working great but recently if I turn on 2 or more rings at the same time, each ring just gives off a really low flame. I have changed the orange gas cylinder so there should be plenty of gas.
Would anyone know what might be the problem with it?
Thanks for your help!

The regulator on top of the cylinder will need to be replaced, unfortunately you need must use a RGI to do so, you could remove it from the cylinder turn it upside down and give it a good shake, sometimes rain water will enter and prevent it working.

From my own experience if the regulator is exposed to rain it can get wet and as the gas is de-pressurising, the temperature can drop and the water freezes inside it.

I resolved this by putting a bucket upside down over the top of the cylinder keeping the regulator dry.

Never had any problems since.

also, to get all the gas from a cylinder in cold weather, I stand the cylinder in a big saucepan of luke warm water. it helps get all the gas out of the cylinder.
