Propane leak

My trailer developed a propane leak recently. It was enough to empty a tank in two days. The first time a tank emptied quickly, I thought that the exchange hadn't given me a full one. The second time I started checking, and found a leak in the fitting that connects to the tank. It was enough that I could feel the breeze.

Fortunately, the leak was outside the trailer.

    Give it one more tweak w/ the wrench.


    Close the isolation valve first and use a non-spark wrench. If you want, disconnect the fitting and lubricate the o-ring on the nipple with some plumbers grease or some liquid soap, then tighten. JM2ยข...
