There are only about four reasons that your propane tank is not letting propane gas out. An empty tank, closed shutoff valve, hose adapter is not fully tightened, or bad regulator. This video helps to troubleshoot those issue!
The other reason may be the safety valve needs to be reset. Check out our video on resetting the safety valve: th-cam.com/video/fIyuuUPr_ww/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much! For me, it was as simple as needing to tighten the regulator’s coupling to the main propane tank’s output. Cheers
Great to hear!
Works perfectly thank you so much!
Thanks for watching!
I love early mornings to watch the sunrise! This little thing has a great heat output th-cam.com/users/postUgkxAvrAfikbUEMthp3AZ6iX5FKdiHfzy_RP . I sit in my rocker, warm, and watch the sunrise! It's great for travel as well. Just stow and go. Love this thing! For hunters, I've heard that they also make a little hood so that it focuses the heat a bit more if you have to sit further away. Just a heads up. It's so easy and quick to set up and get going.
Definitely!
I've lived in 2 other states for at minimum of 20 years each and never had a regulator go bad on my grill. I moved to Florida 10 years ago and I've had 2 regulators go bad. I can't help but wonder if it is something environmental such as high humidity or dense content of salt in the air since I'm so close to the gulf shore.
That could be. We are on the coast too, but have only had go bad in 25 years. Environment is definitely a factor. Plus, I believe the quality of parts has gone down recently. Thanks for watching!
The valve has internal treads for propane torch and other uses. Can you discuss why there’s no propane flow from there?
If the tank has propane, the valve is open and working correctly, and the regulator is good. It may be that whatever you are connecting to the tank has an issue. Whether you are using internal of external threading. I hope I understand your question correctly and this helps you out.
This did not work. You have to loosen screw on propane tank for about 15 seconds and let to blow. Then it worked as expected.
Sounds like the issue is with your bleeder valve. This video is just some simple things to check if the gas isn’t flowing. We have a video on the bleeder too. Thanks for watching!
ITS ALMOST ALWAYS THAT ITS THE INTERNAL SAFETY VALVE, I HAVE TO OPEN MY PROPANE TANK VALVE SLOWLY SO THE SAFETY FLOW VALVE DOES SLOW OR STOP THE FLOW F PROPANE, IF IT SENSES A BIG FLOW OF PROPANE IT SHUTS OR SLOWS THE FLOW, SOME TIMES IF IT DOES HAPPEN I CAN ONLY COOK ON ONE BURNER.
Thank you for watching!
You can purge the regulator by making sure the propane tank is off, disconnect the propane tank from the regulator and wait a minute or two, then connect regulator back up and very slowly open valve. Sometimes this can be the cause of symptoms of low heat in the grill. If it continues to happen then regulator is bad and must be replaced. It happens when pressure is suddenly built up in the anti bleed valve and causes it to become half shut thus reducing flow to the burner. Large temperature changes and moisture can also cause this problem to happen in climates with drastic night and day temperature fluctuations.
@@WthaHatchet thank you for that tip! Very helpful. Also, thanks for watching!
@@cookingwithcoastalcaterers Anytime! Keep on grillin!🤘
Mine wasnt flowing today either and I had to purge the bleeder valve on the side for about 3 minutes. This is the 3rd Tank I've had to do this to. I think the place I take it to refill them has a tendency to over fill them.
What would make the flame peter
out and the burner stop working all of a sudden? The tank is full and works fine on a different head. The burner had lit and burned fine up until this point. Now I dont hear any gas flow when I open the regulator
Sounds like the regulator itself is bad. Usually, uneven flow indicates a bad regulator.
Thanks a bunch! I ordered a new one
I bled my tank six times for 2 and 1/2 minutes. Nothing happened. In the end I stuck a screwdriver in where the hose goes in and pushed on that spring loaded valve and it opened and always good after that. What a waste of gas
Glad you got it working!
Propane is leaking out of the safety valve... too full?
It could be too full or the safety valve is bad. If it is too full your OPD is not working right. Either way you might want to exchange that tank.

I think there is something wrong with my tank I tried this and still no gas flow ..
If those things don’t work it is probably an internal issue. The best thing to do is switch the tank for new one.
I have a tank the won't release gas. I went to the hardware store and they said 100% it's you regulator. came home hooked up the new regulator NO GAS. I borrowed a tank from a neighbor and the new and old regulator work fine for some reason the gas won't come out of the tank. we also tried bleeding off some gas to no avail.
Had the same issue:( But I fixed mine by turning the disconnected cylinder upside down , picking it up an inch or to and setting it down hard (tapping) on a hard surface. Then voila :)
Glad you got it working. Sometimes little things like that do the trick! Also, a sign of a bad regulator is an uneven flow of gas. Sometimes too much gas, then suddenly it is struggling to release any gas. Usually a bad regulator won’t completely stop the flow. Thanks for watching.
Yeah, usually the regulator doesn’t stop the flow if it is bad, but the flow of gas is erratic. The internal mechanism on the valve could be seized. Its probably best to exchange your tank for a new one. Thanks for watching! Hope you get it working.
none of the fixes worked.. eventually hooked it to another tank, started grill, then went back to old tank.. both are working now.
When you removed the hose from the original tank and then hooked it back up to that tank, you probably reset the safety valve and that let gas start flowing again. Glad your tanks are working!
@@cookingwithcoastalcaterers not sure but it worked where doing 30 second wait and slow opening several times would not :) in case someone else has same problem.. either way.. thanks for making a video to help us all.
your video has very very little sound.
Yes, for some reason the audio for this video is low on some devices. Kind of strange. Thanks for watching though!
This didnt work for me so heres what did; I attached the regulator and opened the tanks valve. Then, with the valve still open, unscrewed the regulator until i heard a hiss. Screwed the regular back on and off a few times and then i had gas going to the grill
Glad you got it to work. Sounds like your internal valve was stuck and it opened back up. Thanks for watching!
Internal valve ? On the propane bottle ?
