    Grant Combi 90 losing pressure

    Sounds as if your problem is the vessel, if there is crud and wet round the top of the auto a/v then it is knackered, the p-r-v will most probably be fine.

    Grant Combi 90 losing pressure

    As oilman has allready said useing the p-r-v to drop the pressure is a good idea, as this checks to make sure it will open, this is the method I use at a service. Aim for 0.8 to 1.0 air pressure at 0.0 system presure, the other weak point on the grant is the cheapo auto air vent, it is worth...

    water heater....diesel or gas....any ideas for me?

    Vailant used to make a small multipoint water heater that could be used on lpg , can't remember the model or output but they were fitted to lots of static caravans, palamo also made one that had a low pressure option(12 volt pump) both are conventional flue and heat water on demand.

    Rayburning question!

    Flue lining is a important factor in any conversion, and since scaffolding is now required for most jobs even more important to cost . Even a guestimate needs to factor this cost in to have any chance of being of any worth.

    Rayburning question!

    OILMAN, What about flue lining cost and scaffolding an extra £750 at least, also big difference in cost depending on which conversion kit is used type of cooker etc (regent or suppreme). You need more info before you can start to" guestimate" such a job.
