Must propane pigtails be identical
I replaced one of the 12" pigtails with a 20" pigtail and now the generator will only pull propane from the tank connected to the 12" pigtail even with both tanks full. I re-installed the old 12" pigtail and it works as you would expect. I swapped the tanks just to make sure that it wasn't a problem with the tank with the same result.
This isn't a problem for all of the other propane devices, e.g., frig, stove, WH, etc., since these are apparently lower volume devices. So my assumption is that the propane pigtails must be identical for the regulator to work properly.
I'm hoping that the propane gurus on the forum can confirm my thinking or steer me in another direction. And, by the way, the reason I need to replace the pigtail is because the teflon washer that is buried in the green knob is broken and partially missing.
All replies are greatly appreciated.
