No gas flowing

[justinnnutt]

I left the propane tanks open for almost a year without using the camper. Now there is no propane flowing to any of the appliances(h2o heater, stove or furnace). There is still
propane in them. I've tried detaching and reopening propane very slowing with no luck. Could it be the regulator? Any ideas? Thanks!

Purge the lines of air by lighting your stove if you are sure you still have gas in the cylinders.

When all propane appliances are turned OFF and propane service valve is still open the regulator goes in 'lockup'

To get regulator back into control a demand has to be placed on it.
Open stove top burner valve with lit match next to burner until flow is established and flame lights

IF stove top burner does Not light off.....regulator could be bad, or pigtail hoses (if this is on a trailer with cylinders)

I tried cycling on the heater about 6 times. I also closed off the propane and then left the stove burners on about the same but no luck. Am I missing something or just keep trying to purge the lines?

Try to light the stove burners and try to purge the lines. Repeat the slow valve opening if needed. Furnace may need to be cycled on and off a couple times also to purge lines.

I just got a 20lb refilled, got back to camp and after hooking it up got nothing out of it. I watched it being filled so I knew that it was full. Finally found that I had not screwed the regulator to tank adapter in far enough, tighten it some more, works fine now.
