not sure how it could be the tank because i turn the tank on to pressurize the system, my guage goes up to where ever 11 or something. then i shut tank off so it should be out of the equation, then i turn on stove to bring pressure down to 7 or 8 lbs, in this case it was around 7.2. then i did the 3 minute test which went fine. then i i waited and watched and noticed the much slower drop as described above.
any other opinions out there? thanks, kevin
Yes the tank is out of the equation and the regulator is working correctly. With the tank valve off the regulator bleeds out the propane in the line. This is why you have to purge the air when the tank has been shut off.
