Oil in propane line

[wally-eye]

Anyone ever had oil in a propane line? I was having issues getting my water heater to light on propane and took the gas line off and it had a bunch of oil in it plugging the line. Once I blew the line out the water heater started right up. Very strange but a simple fix once I figured it out.

I've heard about it a few times on here. Apparently there is some kind of oil that gets introduced into the propane tanks and it can migrate into the lines over time. I guess the only fix is to do as you did and blow it out.
