Connected butane to gas stove

[DevonMark]

...I thought this would be easy, but on my first attempt at screwing the regulator on the the canister some butane began spraying out! Should I have ploughed on and continued tightening it?

What did I do wrong?!

I took the regulator off completely to stop any more spraying out as it didn't seem right :S

What type of cannister and stove are we talking about here?

It's a Nova Comet 28mbar regulator and a 907 butane canister - hope picture helps.

I thought I was doing it correctly, so a bit of a shock when some gas sprayed out!

The gas is hooked up to a two hob cooker (with grill) and the fridge.

Any advice/help appreciated!

I think you should of continued screwing it on.Remove the rubber pipe.Do it in an open space.See how it goes.

I think you're right (I've consulted my
dad and he thinks the same!).

Will have another attempt at half time 3.45 - will carry on listening to Exeter City beating Oxford until then

Gas working now, thanks for your help! I should have been braver on my first attempt and kept screwing it on...
