Bleeding propane system?

[rjsurfer]

I refilled one of my 30lb propane tanks last week and now the regulator makes a high pitched squeal when running either my oven or propane heater. No problem with stove top burners.

I'm thinking air in the line???

Is there ever a need to "bleed" the gas lines and how would I do it?

I have a typical 2 tank system.

Thanks

Turn off the regulator. Light the stove, after it goes out shut the stove off. Open the regulator very slowly. This helps reposition the diaphragm in the regulator.
Mine made the "squealing" noise also. That took care of it.

Like Don said, simply running any propane appliance will bleed any air out of the system.

My guess is the stove does not consume gas as fast as the oven and heater, and the squeal is related to the flow of gas. If you turn on all the stove burners does it squeal?

Anyway the problem is at your regulator. If your stove works then there is no air in the lines anymore.

Tried that, no joy.
