I hope you find out what the trouble was Nini!
Diesel fumes can be terrible at times. :oops:
Stings your eyes and gets into your clothes etc and is hard to get rid of.
Did Wayne install it or was it 'proffessionally' installed?

I have seen the gas heater work now and I like it heaps better than the noisy and smelly diesel ones. Hope you get yours sorted Nini not nice to be cold.

I'm guessig this is "Chick" and Catrina's gas heater, what was the problem that stopped it working before?

This is "Chick" speaking whilst sitting cross legged under a low table in an attempt to lift my voice range in an attempt to match the "name" ! :D

Problem was initially low gas pressure caused by the regulator having some 'gunk' in it ... after changing the regulator & going through various scenarios of leaking connections & gradually correcting them...

IT WORKED!!!!!

... & still does. :lol:
