Secondly, if you noticed that gas is not flowing from the gas cylinder bottle to your burner, you will need to confirm if you have just enough LPG gas in your gas cylinder bottle for usage. At most times, when LPG is a the minimum exhausting point in a gas cylinder, this will cause gas flow to be minimize.
Lastly, check for blockage by dirt or debris. Most time dirt's can block gas cylinder valve hole, causing it preventing LPG from passing through from hole piping to the appliance being fuelled. To solve this, make sure you clean your gas cylinder bottle valve and burner with a clean white towel, clean of debris and dirt's the valve before inserting the gas regulator.
