Re: normal to see yellow flame inside the furnace exhaust vent?
I think, it may be wet or dirty propane. This only occurred after I had this tank refilled at Home Hardware, and the kid that was filling the tank was very untrained, I wasn't there when he filled it but he was reading instructions for tank filling. I don't know if perhaps somehow moisture got into the tank, or if maybe he didn't purge the tank first or maybe he over filled. He even slammed it into the wall a few times trying to knock ice off of the underside of the tank and put a small dent in the tank. An old friend mentioned that he has a propane at his cabin and he has had yellow flames with dirty propane before, but I don't know if that's legitimate or not. I am thinking about letting this tank burn off and then filling it at a different location to see if it reoccurs.

Hey folks First time RV owner here, I have a 2015 Durango 296BHS. I'm actually staying in it for a while right now, and I live in the cold north of Canada. Labrador actually. It's -25 Celsius here. I am going through about 60 lbs of propane in a 7 to 8 day period. Which I'm fine with. I was outside tonight, very dark and cold outside and I noticed my furnace vent was glowing orange / yellow. There was the obvious smell coming from it while burning propane, but looking inside the vents I could see a yellow flame. Is this normal? I know nothing about gas furnaces. Should I be able to look inside the exhaust vent and see a yellow flame? I always thought propane burnt blue. The oven and stove top are working fine with blue flame, and the furnace is giving off great heat with no odd smells inside, I just wondered if this was normal. I took a quick video...sorry it's so short and dark. This is on the passenger side of the 5th wheel, this is the furnace exhaust vent I believe. https://youtu.be/5P673SortQU ***Link Removed***2.8KViews0likes6Comments
