When changing the gas bottle in your motorhome, the gas flow may be interrupted unexpectedly. Don't worry, we'll help you to quickly recognise and rectify the most common causes. This way you know exactly when you can act yourself and when a specialist is required.
Possible causes at a glance
- Bottle management: It could be that the valve on your new gas bottle has not been opened. A small oversight with a big impact!
- Controllers and safety devices: Sometimes residues in the liquid gas block the gas pressure regulator. The crash sensor can also stop the flow of gas due to vibrations such as potholes.
- Consumption points and valves: Perhaps the shut-off taps on the cooker and heater were not opened after the bottle change, or the shut-off valves are not fully open.
Solution approaches
- Open the gas bottle: First check that the gas bottle valve is fully open. This is the most common source of error.
- Open taps and valves: Make sure that all shut-off taps on the cooker and heater and all valves are turned on. The problem is often to be found here.
- Reset crash sensor: If the crash sensor has been triggered, you can simply reset it according to the instructions and the gas flow should work again.
When is professional help necessary?
If these measures do not help or if you are unsure about safety, it is advisable to consult a specialist company. You should call in a professional, especially if the gas pressure regulator is defective, as replacing hardware is safety-relevant.
⚠️ Safety note
Always check the gas system in a well-ventilated environment. Open windows and doors to avoid possible gas concentrations. If you suspect a leak, switch off all gas-powered appliances and refrain from unauthorised repairs. Call in a professional immediately to ensure your safety and that of your Bürstner.
💡 Our tip
After every gas cylinder replacement, it is advisable to run a short test by using a gas-powered appliance such as the cooker for a few minutes to ensure that the gas flow is working properly. This helps to identify potential problems at an early stage and ensures that the system is working properly before you leave or stay longer.
