We have one of those mobile calor gas heaters and we have "hammered it" over the past 2-weeks as it is very cold here.
We got a replacement on Jan 10th and on Saturday it went out. (10 days) ( We also have a halogen heater and have been using the aircon occasionally and an electric blanket on low all night
)
So for those of you who know me -
I am careful - I have one of those gas canister magnetic gauges that caravan owners buy on ebay - recommended on CBF a few years ago and this showed that I was not yet even half empty yet - although it does seem a cheap bit of kit!!
I put my finger on the button - lit it - held my finger there for a full 5 minutes - let go - out it went. I repeated this 4 or 5 times and finally gave up. The following morning I picked up the phone to ring the water / gas man and
as I am careful - I thought one more go.
Low and behold it worked - it worked all day until 6pm and then went out. Tried again 3 or 4 times gave up. We then had a blackout during the storms at 9pm when Gill reminded me that if I had renewed the bottle that morning we would now have heat!!! (women so knowledgeable on these matters) So I thought - well - if we are cold I can hold the button down like that little lad in Holland in the dyke - and get some heat!!! After 15 mins I had cramp and let go - it stayed on !!!!
It worked all day Sunday and Monday - then it went out this afternoon and I have got it going after 4 unsuccessful attempts and then leaving it for 3 hours.
So it looks to me as though I have a blocked jet - anyone any ideas?
Do the shops that sell the gas service them or can you remove the jet and clear it somehow?
Ps If I have a blocked jet and it is not a pre-existing condition and I have registered for SGK - will it be covered 
Pps I am ALSO beginning to think the one I sent back was FULL [
