Right that little dial on thr right mate is what I need you to watch,each segment is a unit of gas.Start the heater again with nothing else running and time one full rev of that red dial it does not matter where you timr it from.

I could when I removed the plate from the front and it was nice and blue, but it will be getting oxy from the room then. I'll see if I can when I first light it.... Yep, when I first light it it's blue and just the tip of the flame is orange. Then after a while as you see it gets very orange....leads me to believe the flue may be starving it of oxy. ????

If you then do the following equation 3600x1040 divide that by the time it has taken to go around then divide it by 3412 then times by 0.9 which will give you a net KW fig.

You could be right mate,the base should be blue at all times and the tip orange.If the flame is orange and floppy then we have a lack of oxy mate. |

5 mins 15 secs so 315 secs. I make that 3.135 from your calculation... Oh and it's bloody cold standing outside in a t-shirt for that long...

Right mate you are aloud a 5% margin over the fig,so yours is just over mate.Best thing to do is get it serviced by a corgi engineer.It is basically just over gasing slightly,however you do have a very old meter there mate and that would be needed to be taken into consideration.Also the gas governor could be ltting to much gas through.Does is say on the heater what the the gas input pressure is?Should be lower that 20mbar.
That calculation you have done mate is called a gas rate,you can then convert that into cubic meters and feet but I wont go into that LOL. |

I might have a word with the guy a couple of doors down. He is a gas fitter, we don't speak much but he seems cool...he capped off my kitchen supply a few years ago when I did the kitchen. Hot setting pressure is 19.0mbar then it says 1.0mbar at the side of it, I assume that's the allowed variance.

Cheers Andy. I suppose I should have paid for British Gas service cover then I'd get an annual service for all gas appliances...
