... I found out the the tanks had a one way valve, and the tanks wont discharge when the valve is open. Im a little up in age and i had never heard of any such. BUT the lady that filled my tank ,didnt know either.
Far as I know you have to be certified to fill propane tanks and if she did not know that the curent tanks have this safety valve then she should not be selling propane. Were I you I'd not be buying from them any more.
If the flowrate out of the valve is suddently changed, say from nothing to open, it is designed to react as if there is a leak and then shut it down. I know this because I use an 11# tank with my table top grill in place of the 1# disposable bottles and for a while could not get the gas to flow. Then I discovered if I opened the valve very slowly and only maybe 1/4 turn it works perfectly.

Also on the long 7 way plug cord. Dont just throw the excess wire over the toung of the trailer. When i got to the lake, it had fell from where it was draped, and worn in half. So i probably drove most of the 58 miles with no brake lights, and yes i shudder at that thought, i was really dangerous.
I have never seen that much excess cord!
