Question About Propane Pigtail ?
..........I have 2-40# propane tanks , both connected to a transfer switch ! When one tank empties , the indicator goes red and I mechanically switch over too the other tank . So , one tank ran out on Sunday , I switch over to the full tank , but indicator stays on Red . I remove empty tank and move full tank over to the side from where I had just removed the empty tank . Turn on valve and indicator goes back to green .
...........So , either there is a mal function with one side of the transfer switch OR the Pigtail is blocked . To check the pigtail from the mal functioning side , I unscrew it from the transfer switch , and then screw it onto a full tank I have sitting on the ground . I , then very slowly open the tank valve , expecting to see propane hissing out of the open end of the pigtail..........Nothing comes out , at all ! Conclusion , the pigtail is Blocked !
............Question , should there be propane squirting out the end of the open end of the pigtail ..........? Is my conclusion correct ? , thanks , jf
