You probably need to replace the thermocouple before you will be able to get it lit.

I have purchased a house with a Vulcan gas space heater. The pilot light was on but since the gas was temporarily turned off I can not turn on the pilot light. I am in Adelaide South Australia.

you have air in the gas line , the pilot being so small it would take ages to come through , you need to purge the line to get the air out , se if you can undo the pilot line to pruge it

Pilot lights but won't stay on in my older style vulcan space heater. thermo couple was replaced last year.any ideas that i could try thanks

Most common cause of pilot light problems is air movement. If your space heater exhausts gas through the roof, ensure the cap is on and level. If not, outside air movement will blow out the pilot. If you do not have an exhaust gas duct, check that the unit is positioned so that it does not blow air back onto itself from walls, furniture, etc, and ensure no other devices that move air are aimed towards the unit. The unit also needs to be placed away from central ducting, including return vents.

Hope this helps!

My Mum has a Vulcan freeloader 260 gas hot water system and it appears that the pilot light has gone out. The only problem is I can't find where it is to test how to turn it back on. Can someone please...

Remove the access panel lower right hand side and locate the pilot light re-igintion push button. The instructions are pritnted on the back of the access panel.

Noisy pilot light Vulcan Quasar 40

Simply clean out the jet tube with a fine wire, the sound you hear is the gas blowing by the irregular edges, and swirling and not mixing and producing sound waves, (Bit like a flute) So, you need to clean the tube right out, and smooth off the end again, & sorta "Countersink", Flame the end too, at the end.use a very fine needle file, and make it look like new, that will sort your problem out. Then adjust so you have a good gas flow. Also check out it isn't blocked too.

Could be moisture in the gas supply line - get your gas fitter to purge the line at the meter.
