Propane Tanks
Hope this helps someone, and hope i post correctly, being im new
We bought a 2005 Keystone in January and have just started using it. Yesterday i took off the tank that was half full to be topped off. When the lady filling the tank told me it was half full, i preceded to open the valve to let her know that it was indeed empty, and told her to try to put the gas into it. She did get 18 dollars worth in , 3.50 a gallon here in SC, and when she finished she opens the valve , no discharge. She like me figured too, BAD TANK, and suggested i call Palmetto Propane, and see if they would trade it out. After talking to the folks at palmetto, 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.
So im sure that some day , someone, will run across this too, and probably will think that when they open the valve, that tank just has to "Hiss", and it just aint going to never ever.
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.
Thanks for letting me join, and i hope this post helps someone some day
