BBQ LP Regulator..?
I suspect I have a bad BBQ LP regulator, just not sure.
Only about the fourth tank used since new. I understand they go bad. With the tank, regulator and hose removed and away from the grill I turned the tank with the regulator and hose in place on and no indication of gas/smell. I close the tank, removed the regulator and opened to tank valve, still no smell and I figured to tank will not allow gas out without the regulator nipple piece in the tank valve. I was able to blow air through the regulator and hose ( correct flow direction ). I don't know. Do they stick open / closed? Should air travel through the regulator if I buy the new one (before install) ? I don't guess the tank valve would be bad. This started when the exchange tank went on, but only on the second use of the grill. The burners are in good/clean shape, so I foresee a regulator -- Oren ...through the use of electrical or duct tape, achieve the configuration in the photo.. |
