Hi all, just after some advice. I picked up a small camping LPG bottle assuming it was going work exactly the same as my 9kg bottle with a regulator. The 3kg bottle is for a 2 burner stove which doesnt need a regulator, so Ive connector the hose, opened the valve and lets just say "I'm not cooking with fire".
It has a bleed screw?, a open/close valve and a little red plastic tag opposite the valve with "safety hands off" written on it. Im assuming I should leave that little plastic tag in place but do i need to adjust the screw on the side of the bottle connection tap? Cant work out why its not lighting, and yes, the bottle is full haha. Thanks |

the male connector has an offset hole to allow the gas flow while holding open the needle valve.

my male lead has the centered needle valve but looking the bottle, its hole is off center and towards the open/close valve. So im guessing the lead and bottle dont match?.
There is no smell of gas when turning it on but when I undid the bleed screw a bit there was a tiny hiss that lasted a second and thats all. |
