sabre Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Hello, I have 2 different burners coming out of the kitchen trailer. The one on the right has an additional tube. Does this burner has a specific use? I want to convert them from petrol to propane, so all advise is welcome. BTW: will they both run on propane?

0 sirhc Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Hi Piet, I don't have my catering trailer manual anymore, but it did describe the difference between the petrol and propane burners. Mine were the type on the left and all worked fine on propane. I think the other one may be a petrol burner, maybe someone with the manual can check for you.

0 David Ives Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 piet the one on the right has the petrol evaporator still attached these are the parts to keep if you want to show original petrol use i will go to the trailer today and take photos of layout for gas but you lose the preheat burners and the evaporator tubes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 David Ives Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) i have just tried to take photos but camera packed up so will try to explain how it works on the trailer the pipes conect through to a block and pipes go round from block to the preheat which is the round thing on left of photo to convert to gas remove these extra pipes and the preheat fitting but leave pipe from rear turn off valves to front box where the conector on the right photo is conected and put the blanking plate over empty connections the one on the left is missing its valve but the conection block is missing as well Edited April 6, 2010 by David Ives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Marmite!! Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 As a Gas Fitter myself I advise you to get proffessional help converting them, they have to be properly jetted & the regulator properly set up for safe use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 David Ives Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 i have amended the photo to show what needs to go for gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sabre Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 OK I'll give it a try! So the piping around the burner also has to go? Piet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 David Ives Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 the pipe from the front valve to the rear stays that goes out the right hand side everything else goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 sabre Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 How do you light it on gas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 David Ives Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 connect gas pipe to valve on side ensuring blanking plug is fitted to opposite side then depending on how many burners you want operating open valve in middle section first then with the t key on front centre pin of the burners open till gas comes througth and light direct with long taper after cleaning slots first to adjust flame turn valve on bottom right of the front of the burner if you are at the bunker i will give you a direct copy of the manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sabre Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 Can't make it to the Bunker. Please keep it for Beltring. Will try to light it today........outside:-D:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 David Ives Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 makesure you have tried all the joints with washing up liquid solution first and a air hose so if you see any bubbles you have a leak before you light it mate dont want to lose a good friend by neglecting the safty first and have someone by the gas bottle to turn it off fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
