Repairing :

There was the the some accessories were repaired by me i.e. two shegadi of the LPG Gas, Bio-gas shegadi. After that the cooker and container painted by using black color which is used for cooking of rice on prince 40. The bio-gas shegadi’s burner was damaged. This was replaced and shegadi was polished then colored with the red oxide and silver. Next day I saw that the bio-gas burning was stop after few minute due to absence of the oxygen. Then the L- bow was replaced by T- joint and then observe the burning flame. Oxygen was present for burning and bio-gas is light in weight in presence of the wind. But my logic was fell. The burning flame size was low and the bio-gas was flowed by both end of the t- joint. This trial was unsuccessful. Then end cap was mounted to the one end of the t-joint. this is just touch to the mouth of the t- joint. Oxygen was insert into the bio-gas flame and the burning start properly.
