In reply to ablackett:
> I've got a 2.75kg Campingaz Butane cylinder, i've kept it as a spare for around 4 years in the shed, installed it yesterday on the stove in the camper van and couldn't get the gas to light. I can smell the gas, hear it coming out, but it won't light.
> I can't see a way it could have gone off, the cylinder is full and heavy.
> Any ideas to get it working or how it could have gone off? Or is it just a case of return it for a refill?
Gas can't go off. The most likely possibiliy, since you say you can smell gas, and you can hear it, is the flow is very low or it isn't coming out at the place you think. (if, as you say, you are applying a source of ignition correctly)
