rusty78609...If you use PROPANE for anything this is an easy, cheap way to find leaks. A LINK TO AMAZON PRODUCTS: amzn.to/2yKoumB thank you for using the Amazon Link!!!
Rusty, I was told by a propane guy, that those new green easy on connectors should only be tightened snuggly. IF, you really tighten them, that they WILL, leak!! What another way to make $$$ers.??? Congrats on the new home coming. Safe travels.😀💕😀
Thanks for the propane info, Rusty. I just purchased a tiny travel trailer and will be using propane for the first time. I am scared to death to light the water heater or whatever is in the side of the trailer. I will have to get someone to show me how. Does the flame continue to burn the entire time when parked at an rv park or is it only used when hot water is needed? Thanks for all this useful informtion for us newbies.
I had the same leak and it was the tank. I switched tanks and it was fine. There is a small rubber grommet or o ring inside the tank valve, it was dry rotted and cracked .
That plastic hand nut does not have a seal. The seal takes place between the end of that hose and the tank (inside the hand nut). Your leak isn't the hose, it's the tank.
I notice my propane tank makes an air noise as my gas heater is on , but when the heater is off it goes away. I checked for leaks no bubbles. Is this normal?
If you look inside the bottle valve(where the plastic piece screws on) you will see an o-ring that seals to the regulator nipple where it screws on the valve. That o-ring gets old and brittle over time and leaks. Hope this helps
Propane guys in Nebraska say no tape or pipe dope. That's what 'O' rings are for.. I got scolded. :( But they use stuff on the big solid tank lines. (?)
A GREAT safety tip!! I suppose you could use the same technique in checking your stove and heater for leaks. I think I need you it on my wife..I know she has a serious gas leak LOL!!
As anyone can see, the seal from the tank is bad, not the line. Your just throwing away your $. Most businesses paint the tanks but never replace the seals.
@@rusty78609 yes, that’s correct. An error. The hose wasn’t leaking. It was the gasket on the tank itself. The hose head doesn’t have a gasket. When the gasket on the tank goes bad, it leaks just like you show in your video. You can also see the bubbles coming from the plastic nut.
@@rusty78609 if that's the case then what's the problem? All regulators are sealed by the 20 lbs of pressure in the tank. That's why you smell gas when the tank gets empty. Smh
Good info and nice you are keeping the RV in good shape for your son.
Great info Rusty.. glad you caught the leaks,

Thanks Rusty Excellant lesson for us ALL. How do I love measure to know which sz needed
Awesome help. THANK YOU!
Soapy water is a better idea than holding a match near the lines and watching for a flame up. Three stooges fan...
Thanks for the tip.
Good info! Liked your leak test. Houston company great tip! Wish you would have showed the valve & seal. Thx
Thanks for your video really help me

Question. My is brand new. But have a leaks from the back part of valve. Help
Hey, Rusty, what’s that spinner looking deal between the tanks?
I had the same leak and it was the tank. I switched tanks and it was fine. There is a small rubber grommet or o ring inside the tank valve, it was dry rotted and cracked .
ditto!
What would happen if you light a fire on that leaking gas?
My hose connecting into my weed torch produces a small bubble when I add dawn dish soap. Does that mean it’s bad?
Thank you
That plastic hand nut does not have a seal. The seal takes place between the end of that hose and the tank (inside the hand nut). Your leak isn't the hose, it's the tank.
The seal leak is part of the pigtail, has nothing to do with tank.
Thank you sir.
Thank you, my gas grill making a funny noise when the gas is turned on, I’ll do this test later, I thought the issue was the propane tank.
Thanks
So u cant just fix the connector itself? POL connectors are better. My hose is leaking in the same spot as yours unfortunately.
I notice my propane tank makes an air noise as my gas heater is on , but when the heater is off it goes away. I checked for leaks no bubbles. Is this normal?
Any monkey can find a leak. We need to know how to fix the leak. 😂
Right! 🤣😩😩
New hose bro
Somebody just had a explosion today and the damn thing just blew up because of a leak
I just bought my hose and it already leaks why would that be I got a bad hose?
If you look inside the bottle valve(where the plastic piece screws on) you will see an o-ring that seals to the regulator nipple where it screws on the valve. That o-ring gets old and brittle over time and leaks. Hope this helps
Should we use teflon tape on the threads? It works for water. Will it work for propane?
Propane guys in Nebraska say no tape or pipe dope. That's what 'O' rings are for..
I got scolded. :( But they use stuff on the big solid tank lines. (?)
There is tape for gas lines. Pretty sure it’s red or orange instead of white.
Ok and then what am I supposed to do? Get a new one if it's leaking?
try some plumbers tape and tighten it a little
A GREAT safety tip!! I suppose you could use the same technique in checking your stove and heater for leaks. I think I need you it on my wife..I know she has a serious gas leak LOL!!
Do not do this in colder weather. If it freezes that water will actually make your pigtails leak

After 3 years, you still don’t see your error in this video?
error? in my video???

@@mikemiller9119you need an adapter
I just light mine with a match. If it catches fire I blow it out and turn the tank off. And every time my but puckers.
BIG DEAL ......
Easier way to check, smell for gas. 😆
might be too small a leak to smell
