Hello!

I know other people have asked this question on this forum, but I don't see the answer to my particular situation; forgive me if I missed it.

My issue:

I have a Worthington Cylinder "approximately 120 gallon" propane tank at my house. I recently had it filled by my local propane provider, as I do every fall.

I went to light the fireplace for the first time this season.

I verified there was gas on the propane tank's gauge.
I turned on the gas at the propane tank.
Which way is the valve's handle if there is one?
I went inside and flipped the light switch that controls the fireplace (when the pilot is lit).
I turned the gas valve in the fireplace from parallel to perpendicular.
This might be the culprit. Parallel is generally on as others
have mentioned.
On is usually with the handle in line with the fuel supply line.
I turned the switch in the fireplace from off to on.
I turned the dial to the "pilot" setting.
I hit the pilot button. I could see a spark, but I do not smell or hear any gas getting to the fireplace.

I tried flipping the breaker to that part of the house and checking all GCFI outlets.

I tried turning the blue gas valve in the fireplace the other direction, just in case.

I tried googling for a similar situation.

No dice.

I have pictures and videos of my steps (if I can figure out how to post them).

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Another culprit might be the pressure regulator at the tank.
