Just in case, when I changed out my broken propane regulator for a new one I had to unscrew the line from regulator to the plumbing underneath. So when line was disconnected, I just let it drip till it was empty and when line stopped dripping I reconnected it. Total oil that drained out of line was maybe a 1/8 of a spray paint plastic lid. RV I did this on was 4 years old at the time but never any problems. We had one rv 18 years and it got heavy use, never had any propane problems.
If you drill a hole to vent /purge...where are the drill filings going to go? True 90 percent will fall down. Where's the other 10 percent going to go? Only takes a tiny sliver to plug up tiny orifice burner. Then you got to take apart more stuff. I had a suburban water heater in a boat years ago and it took size .89mm Won't take much to plug something that small.
