Propane question

[KWKloeber]

fyi, from the C355 forum...

Thought I'd follow up on my post for completeness sake and show what I installed for a CO detector and LPG detector.

For CO I used two Fireboy-Xintex alarms, one in each cabin. They are wired together so that the one will set off the other. You can also determine which alarm activated.

For the LPG detector I used the Fireboy-Xintex S-1A. It is wired to the solenoid and will turn it off and sound an alarm if it detects gas. Of course, I now have to turn on 2 switches to get the solenoid on. :-/

FYI, we invited all the C355 skippers to join us here, they declined.  We've been administering their memberships since they started out.  They started their own Google group.  They have been reinventing the wheel since they started out.  Nice fellas, and have "come up with" all sorts of good electrical and alarm systems.  You know, all the stuff we covered years ago.

I'm catching up on my magazine reading.  I read in "Good Old Boat" July/August page 9 Gregg Tranter of Calgary claimed headaches were caused by dirty propane burners.  A sign of dirty burners is a yellow flame.  The cure is to remove burners and turn upside down and cleaned.  He claimed about 2 tablespoons of carbon came from each burner.

WOW who knew.  I complain that it gives me headaches when I have to clean something (anything.)  Now what's my excuse?  Thanks a lot, jim.

LOL.  I KNEW that baiting was going to elicit a reply.      Just not that quickly.
Maybe it's a horse/liquid refreshment thing, Stu?

It's 0958 here, Ken.  Maybe for you, but not for me!!!

Stu,  you lost me there.   Brain  must be on slow speed today.  What does the time of day have to do with leading a horse to water?

"Liquid refreshment?"  Not ring a bell??? 

[KWKloeber]

Horse/liquid refreshment = leading a horse to water?  ie. the 355s?
never mind, getting too near the weekend to work my brain out.

Guys : Any time you see a yellow flame on a gas stove (propane/boat or natural gas/home) it is an inefficient flame.  The flame should always burn "Blue".
