Dear all,
Following my thread on 24/11/07 //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=112072
, I have carried out more test on the gas valve of tmy boiler, I switch off the pilot and all the gas appliances in the house, took the gas meter reading , the three digits on the right hand side of my gas meter, went to work, came back eight hours later, have NOT noticed any movement in the gas meter whatsoever as appose to yesterday when I left the pilot on the gas meter moved 408 of 999 i.e approximately 0.5 gas unit for the same period of time (i.e. 8 hours) And there is no gas small in the house at all. I lit the polite and I could see the fleshing flame of the main burner coming on after a approximately 1 minute. This gives me an indication that the gas valve let some gas out when the thermocouple warms up. If that is the case does it mean the thermocouple is plying up instead of the gas valve Itself?
