    Yes. Get an Rgi.

    What kind of answer do you expect professionals to give you. We have a duty of care. We can't be telling people how to fix their appliances when it's dangerous and illegal to do so

    If this is the cylinder, you need a new regulator. Get your gas fitter to replace the hose too, as they degrade.

    While the regulator on a butane bottle maybe classed as part of the installation and as such could be said that it should be replaced by an RGI, and as with a lot of these regs, they are as clear as mud, I really don't think one could expect a person to call out an RGI to change their regulator when its again clear as mud that Calor themselves don't seem to expect it.

    I would suggest (with white flag raised)the OP change their regulator and if the problem persists then call in the RGI.

    Thanks for the replies.i will change the regulator (in fairness paying a call out charge to rgi to open and close a jubilee clip to me is nuts).i live in the middle of nowhere and need to be a little self reliant.if I felt it was beyond me I'd call a professional.thanks.are the regulators for the larger gas tanks a better job.these ones seem pretty useless.only had it for 18 months.
