Flame Structure
• Pilot flames should burn quietly and cleanly.
• Refrigerator: When the fridge gas control is
turned to maximum the flame colour should
be predominantly blue.
• Water heater: The main burner should burn
blue and of even height.
• Ovens: Flames should be of even height and
burn quietly. The colour should be mainly
blue/green but there will be yellow tips to
the flames as the burner heats up.
• Grill burners: Flames may develop yellow
tips as they heat up, especially when
using butane.
• General comments: A flame lifting away
from the burner indicates that the pressure
is too high.
A yellow flame causes sooting and indicates
the pressure is too low. If these faults occur,
recheck the regulator, cylinders and pipes,
adjust as necessary.
• Flues: Check security of fixings, attachments
to appliances and flue terminals. Check for
damage and corrosion. Check for gas
leakage into the vehicle.
9. Gas Systems
Flame Structure
• Flame failure device (FFD): Check for
satisfactory operation by the following
method: after the appliance has been
checked, allow time for the thermocouple
to cool. Try to relight the appliance by
turning it on without pushing the gas
control knob in. If the appliance does not
light the FFD is working.
• Security: Check that all appliances are
securely fixed to the vehicle/ furniture and
that no ‘play’ is present. Where applicable
check that the gas pipes are properly
attached and there are no signs of leaks.
