@@heavymetalbassist5 You might want try disconnecting the hose to your propane device(grill) from the tank and then reconnecting the hose. Your safety valve might have cut on and stopped the flow. Doing this should reset your safety valve and get the gas flowing again.
I have found that using this bleeder vale is the one sure way to get that GD PITA OPD to reset It was something that a guy at an LP gas company showed me a long time ago when those new style valves came out and a full or almost full tank would not flow gas like it was supposed to when I took a tank that I had just filled there and it did not seem to "work"
Hello thanks for the video. I'm new to this, and planning to buy a 100lb tank for my generator. I'm living in Houston, during the summer time it's 100+ degrees outside. Is it safe for me to leave the tank outdoors in the backyard during that heat? Also, when it's super hot outside and the gas is expanding, the pressure relief valve will "act" automatically to release the pressure? Or is there anything that I need to do to keep me and my family safe? Thanks a lot sir
I actually have family in Houston and I know what you mean about the heat! What you should try and do is keep the tank out of the direct sun, in the shade, and protected from the weather as best you can. Also, yes the PRV will work automatically. If there is pressure that needs to be released it will release the pressure as needed. Plus, you might consider not filling the tank all the way in the Summer. That will give more room for expansion. Then of course as you use more propane there will be more room for expansion without the relief valve kicking on. Make sure the tank is in a well ventilated area. Hope this helps. We have a video on the Pressure Relief Valve if you want to check that out. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
@cookingwithcoastalcaterers thank you very much for the fast reply.. I appreciate it. I was considering a cover, but I passed it, because I'm thinking 1) the ventilation from the valve. It means that the propane that release will be trapped inside and it's a big no no.. 2) it might protect it from snow and rain but with the Houston heat it might "collect" more heat ? And make it hotter.. Also, how do I move it when I want to refill it? (Up to the track when it's empty and back up after refilled, it's going to be super heavy) What's your family in Houston doing? A propane tank or natural gas for the generator? I'm just wondering Thanks a lot sir !! You are a big help.
I've got the hissing after a lot of hot weather and having not opened the tank for a few weeks. How long does it normally take for the pressure release hissing to go on? I shouldn't push the ignite button on the grill while it's doing that, correct?
The hissing will go on until the pressure is relieved. The PRV will release gas in short bursts. The quickest way to cool the tank down to is to run water over from the hose for a few minutes, then get it out of the direct sun. Yes, don't use the igniter until it stops hissing. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
You can do that to let some gas out of the tank. I would let a little bit of gas out then close it, let things air out, then let out some more. Did any gas come out of the pressure release valve?
Hey man so i just installed a new regulator hose and plugged my tank in. I open up my tank ( no hissing) and then light my grill and THEN the hissing starts. I turn everything off, sound stops. When I restart the grill, the regulator has kicked in (so i can only get it to about 250) and theres no more hiss even when lit, until i reset it. Any clue what my issue might be?
The first two things that come to mind is the new regulator could possibly be faulty or the grill has an issue. More likely the regulator. One other possibility is the the hose end fitting might need to be reconnected. It might not be tight. Hope this helps. Thanks foe watching!
How tight should I close that bleeder valve I just got it filled and I decided to check it and it was able to be turned about a quarter term before it felt really tight was that OK? Thanks.
The bleeder valve is important when filling a propane tank
I have a full tank that wont release propane when the knob is opened, should I try bleeding it?

@@yuval260990 the things you said about the cover are correct. You may have to have a propane distributor come to the house to fill the tank.

So my tank got overfilled. Can I open the bleeder valve one turn and wait for it to empty a bit?

That should be fine. As long as you don’t see any liquid coming out of the valve or smell gas, it sounds like your is closed tight.
