LP PRESSURE ?

Recently noticed the high output burner on my stove is a tad loud and there is a section of openings that do not light on the burner. This moves if I gently blow on them. Also oven pilot has phases where it kinda burps. I replaced my LP pressure regulator five years ago. Could this be a pressure problem? How would I check the regulated pressure? What should it be?

  • Sounds more like air in the line.

    You need to make a manometer. Basically it's a clear tube at least 30 inches long that you fill part way with water. Make the tube into a loop, remove a burner and slip one end over the spud. Turn on the gas, the water level should move about 11 inches up the tube.

    Making a manometer
  • When was last time you CLEANED burners....toothpick openings to clear them and clean out burner gas tube

    RV LP Pressure is 11" WC (that is roughly 0.4 psi)

    A Manometer is used to measure pressure.....connected to gas appliance and then at least 50% of propane appliances in service


    How is Water Heater Flame?
    The Furnace?
    Fridge?
    OTHER stove top burners?

    Could be dirty stove top burner, could be range/oven regulator or could be LP Reg (IF other appliances have issues)
