Help - No Propane Flowing!

Very slowly is the key, watch for indicator to go green when you go slow enough.

My Cougar does same thing, When I fill both tanks.

On road near Yellowstone, dw likes to cook and it's a little chilly at night. For our 06 Cougar 5'er filled both propane tanks yesterday but since then cannot get any gas to flow to the trailer. Red/green indicator stays red. Smelled a little propane near the tanks occasionally before the refill. Have tried the very slow opening thing with no change on both tanks individually. Turned the water heater electric option off to have something open in the gas line.Original regulator and tanks. Nothing helps. Thinking need new regulator. Or maybe one of the gas feed tank-to-regulator lines. Any suggestions appreciated.

Likely the excess flow valve on the tank has shut off. Shut off the tanks, open the stove valves to allow any propane to escape. VERY SLOWLY open your tanks and try it again. You might have air in the lines, so it may take a while for things to light off.

if you smelled a buildup of propane good chance your regulator went bad

Both propane cylinders valves OPEN...swapping 'in service' lever from tank to tank and RED/GREEN stays RED??

Remove pigtails from cylinders........When you turn ACME NUT (Green nut) do you get a 'piff' of propane being released?

Inside that ACME Nut is a stub that pushes open a spring loaded shut-off valve inside the valve connection. If ACME NUT not fully tightened....no flow out of cylinder

Crack outlet fitting on regulator to main hose...any 'piff' of propane
Bad regulator.


Also........check that ALL propane appliances are turned OFF when trying to reset ACME excess flow device. Valve out cylinder/wait then slowly valve back in.
Should hear click.

Anything OPEN will act like excess flow because line pressure can not build up/equalize in hoses.
