Ed ke6bnl Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I thing I would try is to turn gas off and bleed the gas off at the regulator and then start over and turn on the propane tank SLOWLY if the tank is opened too rapidly it will block off the gas. Is there gas in the tank I know dumb question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteSKP Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Need more info here. Is this the bulk tank in a motorhome? There would be a shut-off in the line. Is this an individual (#20 or #30) tank? Are you sure you have multi switch open of full tank? How are you checking the tanks volume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbaraok Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Do you have a propane monitor in the rig that cuts off flow from the propane tank when it detects hydrocarbons? If so, you will need to reset the monitor before propane will flow again. There are so many different types of units out there that you need to provide a lot of information to get help. Your best bet is to get a mobile technician to help you so that you can learn about your rig. Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baphenatem Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 If you are using refillable portable propane tanks (typically 20 pounders) make sure that all of the stove burners and other equipment are shut off when you open the valve on the tank. The new tank valves have a safety feature that reduces the flow rate to a miniscule amount if the valve is opened into an open line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
