Can anyone help with.

Small problem that I might be having with my gas

i had two regulators joined together mounted on the front of the van connecting to the gas bottle

one or both failed so I just went to RaysOutdoors to get another one , but this time just came back with one regulator that screws directly on to the gas bottle with a hose on the end

i can get gas to the stove but I can't get the fridge to work on gas

weather it's the regulator or there might be something wrong with the fridge 

I will get it checked out but I thought that I'll ask the question first

any help would be great 

thanks in advance

It can take a while to get gas to the fridge after the lines have been open to atmosphere.

There are gas qualified people here who I am sure will give you some good advice

This may or may not be of assistance, but I had a problem with the fridge pilot light so I gave it a squirt of compressed air in a can and it was fine after that.

Frank is on the money...

You need to be a little more patient with the fridge as it only has a very small jet to get the gas through the system..smile

Just keep trying and eventually it will light

Think you need to get a gas fitter to look at
Im not sure but the 2 you referred to is a special set up for caravans
the single is for barbeques etc

If you went to a caravan place you should be able to get the same regulator as you had befor

Thanks Snaper 49
I really thought that it might be some thing like that
I will head into town and grab one in the morning to see how it goes
Thanks to all
