Why does your cooktop have a yellow flame? When you use LPG instead of natural gas on your cooktop but don't change out the injectors, things can go a bit haywire because LPG and natural gas burn differently, and they need specific injectors to regulate the gas flow and air mixture. When you leave the natural gas injectors in place, it messes up the balance, which leads to the yellow flames.

I love a great curry,,, have seen several good curry restaurants come and go here on the coast but over the last year Chingaari Indian Restaurant has been a stand out.
Eat in ambience is average but a takeaway bag of gold, so good.
Only posting this as keen to ensure this place stays and continues to keep my belly full.
So order the best curry you’ve ever had… Chingaari Indian Restaurant,

ALERT ALERT ALERT
Home Owner Fatality due to failed gas bottle regulator

What happened?
A gas system owner has suffered fatal injuries from a gas explosion in their home.

How did it happen?
An LP gas regulator failed to safely control gas pressure supplied to the gas system of a domestic residence. The excessive pressure within the gas system caused the system to leak gas which built up and exploded causing severe burns to the lower body of a person, who has subsequently died from the injuries.

Key issues
The gas pressure regulator design did not include over-pressure protection (OPP) (see image 1).
OPP is a device or system that prevents gas pressure from exceeding a safe predetermined value.
Initial testing has established the gas pressure at the outlet of the regulator exceeded 150kPa.
Gas appliances are designed and tested to be gas-tight at pressures less than 14kPa.
Excessive pressure (>150kPa) caused valves and joints within the appliance to leak.
Leaking gas built up within the appliance and cabinet beneath the appliance and as ignited by a local ignition source.
The resulting explosion caused fatal injuries to one person, burn injuries to another and significant damage to the appliance (see image 2a) and the property (see image 2b).
Recommendations
LP Gas suppliers should check the first gas pressure regulator on all LP gas installations when filling or exchanging LPG cylinders to ensure the regulator (or additional device) provides over-pressure protection.
Gas work licence holders should check the first gas pressure regulator on all LP gas installations to ensure over-pressure protection complies with relevant safety requirements and commission gas pressure regulators and over-pressure protection devices to ensure safe gas pressures are not exceeded.
Gas system owners should contact a gas work licence holder, or their LP gas supplier, to check safe and correct operation of any LP gas regulator that has been installed for more than 10 years.
