Hello,

We've just bought a flat that has a gas cooker and gas heaters (these
have not been used for 2 years).
I tried to light the cooker yesterday, the gas is turned on and is
making a noise from the one ring on the hob i tried, but this flow of
gas blows out anything I try to light it with (lighter, matches etc).

The gas in the main pipe to the house has gone off and lost all its
flammability because it's been sitting in the pipe for 2 years. You'll
have to ask the engineer to rejuvinate the gas in the pipe under the
street with a FreshGas tablet otherwise it'll take hours to flush out all
the expired gas because the main pipe is very big, and that'll cost you a
fortune.

Will the "flammability" have condensed and be sitting in a highly volatile
pool at a low point in the system?


I am just trying to work out what happened to all that natural fgas
under the North sea, that has been there for a few million years,.

Of course. The flammability has pooled at the bottom and soaked its way
to Saudi Arabia.

Its all so simple when you work it out!
