as a londoner I personaly find it hard to understand sentences which contain less than 50% cuss words.I would ask why we allow post beginning with swearing, even if it is imported yank?
Ahh. I read it after the editing.Was edited
Leave it over night to vent out fully then tomorrow take the regulator off as the pressure will have gone completelyUmmm....help!
So I rang the dealer today who has kindly shipped me a new bottle. I asked what I should do with my regulator and they said just to remove it as the valve was 'shut'
So about 5 minutes ago I started carefully undoing the nut holding the regulator on and suddenly there was a hiss. I've now left the garage and let it hiss away for 20 minutes. I just cautiously checked and the top of the bottle where the valve handle was before it broke off is getting pretty icy and the hiss is changing tone. The bottle was pretty much half full.
I suppose I just keep away from it for a few hours and then check again???
Bit worried about what might happen when I try and fully remove the regulator.
The bottle is not moving around but is there anything from a safety perspective I should be aware of.
Don’t lick the bottle….your tongue will stick to itUmmm....help!

I read this about this on the concerns of CO2 displacing breathable air and apparently people not being aware and possibly passing outTry and leave a door or window open while it’s venting (if you can) - the gas may displace the air inside your shed/garage so try and vent it to the outside. It won’t blow up but it may reduce the oxygen in the area if it’s enclosed, so don’t hang around in there while it’s hissing away!
I’ve done a fair few confined space courses over the years and this always comes up as a hazard, I seem to recall one of the videos they show you is some contractors that leave some cans open and the vapours displace the air and asphyxiate them. I can’t recall if co2 is heavier or lighter than air but I guess just leave it so it can vent to outside air if possible and make sure your garage is left open for a good while after.I read this about this on the concerns of CO2 displacing breathable air and apparently people not being aware and possibly passing out
I think MacDonalds etc store it specially in case of this as they get through a lot of CO2 in fizzy pop
No - it was fully closed. I close it every day when finished.I am wondering if the valve was already fully open, and the OP tried to open it further (hence the breakage). Pressure on the gauges ,after being off for several hours, might be a clue?
