I spent hours trying to figure out just how my propane system worked..It was 3 weeks ago my one 30# tank ran dry and I didn't leave the other valve open..So when I opened the valve the same thing happened to me, the indicator stay Red. I swapped tanks and still No Propane from my other 30# tank which is full...Ok after 3.5hrs cking lines and valves for blockage I noticed the BB and spring inside the ends of hoses and valves which are for leaks or rupture lines, they work by equalized pressure to release the propane..How it releases propane while the stove and water heater are on gets me..But if you open the valve on the tank slowly then close it then repeat about 4 to 6 times the line becomes pressurized.. Then light the burner on the stove to start the propane flow, if the flame goes out then repeat the slow valve opening and closing..After 20mins All was fine..Air? or stuck BB? Well I now have a extra Propane selector Valve in my tool box.
