Propane tank switch over

Due to length of propane line across front of 5vr the 30# Red Top Reg is required....it lowers cylinder supply pressure to 30# and helps prevent propane vapor condensing back into a liquid in the long line.

The Red Top Reg fail and can limit propane flow BUT the pigtail hose from cylinder to Red Top Reg can be the cause of problems also

You can swap pigtails and test if passenger side pigtail works on drivers side
OR just buy new Red Top and pigtail and be done with it.

Which side has the 30# Red Top Regulator---drivers or passengers?

If it is on the side that has issues with propane (furnace) then the 30# Red Top Reg needs replaced

IF the auto change-over reg is on side that has issues with propane then you are either opening that cylinder valve to fast and tripping 'excess flow device' (close cylinder valve, wait 30 sec and then open it slowly)
OR
the pigtail on that cylinder has a faulty 'excess flow device' (replace pigtail hose)
