Low propane flow from street side tank on 5W
Before leaving on an extended trip, I checked my propane level and determined I had a full tank in the street side compartment and about half a tank in the curb side compartment in my fiver. About a week into the trip, I notice my half tank is depleted and we are drawing from the street side tank. I plan to refill my tank the next day. A few hours later DW tells me the burners on the stove won't light.
The next day I prepare to refill both tanks. As I disconnect the street side tank, I realize it weighs more than 50 lbs. I reconnect the tank, and try the burner on the stove. It lights, but then burns out after about two minutes. It will not re-light.
So, I move the full tank to the curb side compartment, reconnect, and propane is flowing freely. So, there is nothing wrong with the tank itself.
What could be my issue. Bad regulator on the street side? Clogged line?
How can I troubleshoot?
