Title: Propane question
Post by: popupcop on Sep 28, 2003, 07:05 PM
 This past summer, we thought we had run out of propane but when I changed out the bottle for another I had, I found the original tank was 1/2 full.  The new tank ran the stove just fine.  Anyone else have this problem? What did you do?

 popupcopYour regulator may have froze on you.  Did you try hooking the old tank back up and seeing if it would work again?[:)]

 popupcop]in our case, it was not the regulator but the hose leading from the regulator to the trailer conection. Must be a more common problem then I originally thought! We were able to replace the hose and a perfect weekend of camping was

 popupcopLike " tlhdoc"  says, try reconnecting the 1/2 full tank again and see if it works.  When this happens it is often caused by a safety mechanism in the regulator.  Disconnecting and re-connecting the regulator resets it and allows it to work again.  Found this out when my home gas grill did the same thing.  Had to contact the manufacturer and they filled me in.  Give it a try and see what happens.
