THAT 'bleed valve' is used when filling .....leave it CLOSED

Do you have a trailer/5th wheel or A Motorhome?
Trailers have 'cylinders.....usually 2 with a hose (pigtail) going from each to the regulator
Motorhomes have 'tank'.....with hose going to regulator
Pigtails have the Excess Flow Device (ball bearing check valve) inside the big nut.
They 'trip' to limit propane flow.....but can get stuck/fail especially when hoses are old.
