Propane smell - help

[Mooreagreen]

Just had the tanks topped off on my TT. Went and set up for the night and there is a smell of propane coming from the vicinity of the regulator between the tanks.

Did the tanks get overfilled or perhaps they spilled? Heat and water heater are on and working fine. The smell is pretty faint and outside only so I doubt anything bad would happen but it does concern me.

Checked the connections to the tanks and they seem fine - I have not tested with soap bubbles yet.

Any ideas and should i be concerned?

Thanks!

Sometimes after handling the hose pigtails will fail at the swivels and leak. Don't let it go, an LPG leak is serious business. Get busy and test.

Soap bubble test....
Regulator...has two vents. 1st stage---small hole & 2nd stage...screened (indicates diaphragm leak)
Fittings
Hoses
Tank fittings

And propane cylinders smell after filling due to propane spray from bleed valve and the methyl mercaptan additive on cylinder.

Awesome - will check that. Thanks!

Yip -- bleed screw.......that got us not long ago....

Check the bleed screw, where i get mine filled they never tighten that screw enough to keep it from bleeding a bit.
