The tank is in the left box of the refrigerator now. I will check the tank pressure.

Thanks David.. > I did not see the other piece of foil in your pictures. The holes are top and under with burner.

Okay.. I will shut this hole completely. I went to Gas-station today. Then, I asked about the Japanese Gas standard. He said to me. The pressure level from the tank-hose.---->230~330mmH2O Burner combustion levels.----------> 200mmH2O up The component of Gas.-------------> 80%-up Propan, 20%-Butan Are these different from US-LPG? The gas pressure is possible with the regulater valve(Incl level meter). However, I don't have it now. My gas-regulater always supplies the gas to the refrigerator in the constant level. Thanks, Yosh@87Westy dolphin@mars.netspace.or.jp PS: I forwarded the mail of Puzerewski to list directly. I apologized for that my act.
