gas problem
Got a 7kg calor bottle on its side in ventilated box under back seat of our T25. When cooking sometimes it is fine and the next time it will burn like there is no regulator, and blow itself out. The fridge willl also start popping. Even when i disconect the bottle it will burn for a good 10 mins. Put new regulator on and was fine first use then same again. Partner lit a burner and nearly put the van up it was like liquid butane all over the cooker and in the grill. Any ideas, we are in Devon on hols and bbq every night is a bit much.
