If your fridge wont work on gas

   Remove the Jet & check the size (it will have number stamped on it) i have had problems with my fridge not working on gas since i bought my Joker in April, i have serviced the fridge & checked the gas pressure etc & it turns out the problem was the jet was too small, the original jet size was 22 so i have purchased a new jet which is a number 24 (the hole is a bit bigger) & hey presto my fridge works a treat on gas now.

	Sure it wasn`t the 22 jet was just blocked / knackered / whatever and the new jet has cured it? Size 24 may be for the UK spec Dometic fridges that use a different gas regulator? German vans have 50 mBar regulators, UK spec regulators are 37 mBar

	The regulator looks the original but is only working at 42Mb so its somewhere in between the UK & German spec(the UK gas regs say a propane regulator working pressure is 37Mb +- 5Mb) so it may of been adjusted by a previous owner, the 22 jet was clear but the fridge just did not want to work, whether or not this is due to the 7Mb drop in working pressure i dont know but it works now so i am happy. i got the new jet through e-bay from BJ Leisure, a bit steep at about £25 delivered but mustn't grumble. Perhaps a previous owner adjusted the gas pressure to UK spec but did not replace the jet to compensate for the lower pressure.

	Don`t think the regs are adjustable, so maybe it`s had a replacement UK spec reg put on it (or a blockage id dropping the pressure down to the 42 mBar you`ve measured) Anyhow, glad it`s fixed it for you. Think I`ll order a couple of dozen gas jets from Gunzl and then Ebay `em for £24.00, make a lot more with my money than the bank pays me in interest on my savings
