Gas cylinder cutting out

[ianmcd]

when your regulator shows signs of freezing its to do with the demand not the outside weather

dont want to sound like an old school teacher but Pressure and temperature are directly proportional so as the pressure decreases so does the temperature so the higher the draw off the lower the temperature hence the freezing

Just as a follow up...

Went out and bought a new regulator valve this morning and a gas engineer was in the shop mentioned that it had a small 'air balance' hole in the side which would fill with water if it was fitted upside down and that if it froze in the cold weather it would cause the regulator to shut down.

Looking at my existing one it had been fitted 'side on' so possibly with all the rain we have had of late and cold weather, water may had got in and frozen.

We live and learn eh?

Thanks again for your help guys, you have been brilliant.

Cheers.
