Question About Propane Pigtail ?

These days just about every fitting in you propane system has a flow restrictor in it. The green (or other color for different flow rates) Acme fitting, just about every spud (the pointy part of a fitting or hose end) and just about any other fitting in your system. These DO GO BAD. Two choices--- either replace the bad piece, again and again and again or fix it. If you actually have 2 working brain cells (and seriously, no insult intended) you can drill out these restrictors and you'll have a system that now works and won't fail again. The down side is that you need to shut off valves when changing tanks, loosening and tightening fittings and you can't use your cigarette lighter for finding leaks. Of course, anyone who wants to RV and keeps his rig in reasonable condition DOES have those 2 working brain cells and many more, and loss of these "protect you from you" pieces won't bother you at all. For the other 1 of a million idiots out there, the government has got your back, regardless of how much the rest of us need to spend or deal with problems that should never have happened.
