Weary fridge swap!

Re: Weary fridge swap!
what do you mean by weary gas pressure?
Time is a drug. Too much of it kills you

Westy 'Gas Pressure Regulator' is 50mbar compared to the UK standard of either a 29 or 37 mbar.
The higher pressure may cause issues with a UK fitment fridge which may require re-jetting or a second regulator fitting to further reduce pressure.

Re: Weary fridge swap!
Sorry for the typo westy!!!! Looking at various articles on this people are saying that 50mb will still be fine on a uk spec fridge, they all say they have no problems?

Re: Weary fridge swap!
I must admit that the Cadac I use off the BBQ take off point works fine on the higher pressure however I have no experience of whether the same would apply to a fridge.

Re: Weary fridge swap!
Most fridges require 30mb and as the Westy tank is 50mb you will need a regulator.
Gunzle sell them or Ebay.
I am not too sure what would happen if you didn't use the regulator but assume that the higher pressure would blow out the flame? Maybe?
