Super Hott & Humid up in the North East!

Its been super Hot and humid for the past several weeks up here in Central New York State, probably nothing to those who live down state, but man o man it hot!

Anyways, my Hybrid is set up in the driveway and came home for lunch today and could hear my gas detector going off. I pulled the fuse to temporarily disable it. But has anyone heard of extreme heat setting these off? I don't think I have a propane leak, but I'll thoroughly check the rig out this weekend.
  • I once had my on-board tank a little over-filled (a bit above the 80% mark on the gauge) on a cold day in the spring and then 3-4 weeks later it got REALLY hot and we could smell and see the propane leaking out the overfill protector ..... Maybe this is happening??? Did you last fill the tank in cooler weather?
  • Is the LED showing red or orange? Orange indicates it has failed and needs to be replaced.
  • I would have it checked immediatly for a propane leak. Propane detectors detect propane not heat.

    Thanks!

  • I do believe there is a built in pressure relief valve. Makes sense in this heat. I've been known to be wrong before tho.
