my myson apollo (50b-lpg) explodes
when a demand for heat happens - when I say explodes I mean explodes - it blows the pilot light out etc. I guess it\\\'s had it\\\'s day but I\\\'m interested to know what it is - is it \\\'Light back\\\' due to a faulty gas valve ?

from your description sounds like the pilot is too small to light the main gas burner. Pilot could be slightly blocked with lint or dust so when main gas enters burner chamber there is a delay before the pilot lights the main burner causing explosive ignition when boiler tries to fire.
