LP Regulator Replacement
Folks, I need some guidance. During a recent camping trip I detected a harmonic sound coming from my propane regulator, a Marshall Gas Products #605M (automatic changeover). When I flipped the selector lever to the second tank, the sound went away. Both tanks were almost full. The next day I returned the lever to its original position. There was no more sound and I haven't heard it since.
On the trip home I stopped at Camping World and asked about the noise and was told the diaphragm was wearing out and that I should replace the regulator soon. The sales guy suggested a Mr. Heater model F273766 regulator as a replacement (for $57 plus tax). Have any one of you had an experience like this, with a "singing" regulator? Was it really going bad?
My dilemma is that I don't care to buy products made offshore unless absolutely necessary and as I remember, the Mr. Heater regulator is not U.S.-made. In addition, I would prefer to replace my regulator with another Marshall unit, but can't seem to find the 605M online. Neither can I find any type of cross-reference chart. I want to be sure that the regulator I install will have the capacity to feed all the appliances in my 5er (water heater, fridge, stove, furnace). Might any of you be able to tell me what regulator I need, or if I even do need one?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
