Hi,
I have a couple of camping gaz questions.
Firstly – how much yellow flame is OK?! I know the gas shouldn’t burn with a yellow tip, but is any yellow acceptable? I’ve noticed that the camping gaz burns well, but on occasions there is a yellow tinge to the flame. Also if a breeze catches the burner, there is often yellow in the flame.
Because my drive is at quite a slope, the gas doesn’t always come out of all the “holes” in the rose (the ones higher up). The ones that do work are often yellow. The others usually catch up eventually, or I give the rose a gentle puff, and it makes the flame “chase” around the rose.
I presume as more gas/air ratio is coming out of the lower ones, that’s why they are yellow, and the upper ones have all air!
Secondly, is it OK to attach the gas hose from the regulator directly onto the tube on the bottom of the hob unit using jubilee clips, or should the hose connect to a brass nut type connector, and the hob connect to the other end of the join with olive joints – if you know what I mean.
I bought the Smev 911cv unit along with a generic fixing kit, so I have all the parts, but wasn’t sure how many of the bits I required. For example, the kit cam with an in-line fuse holder and fuse/wire, but the hob has peizo ignition! The kit came with copper tubing, so I assumed the nut joints were for connecting the flexi hose to the ends of the copper pipe.
Any ideas?
Dave
