    Wonderful! looks like it worked for me. I had to go slow slow, like excruciating slow. Took about 2-3 minutes to open it (probably was a bit overkill) but it works now.

    Thank you this worked on my grill turned it on slow 1/4 of a turn and it lit right up. Funny I unhooked it three times turned the gas on fast and a little gas came out then I found your video and it lit right up.Over the years I've probably threw many good regulators away

    Worked for me perfect. Several other RUclipss say to uncouple the tank but you are the only one says to leave it settle for a couple minutes. That solved it for me. Thanks

    So I thought this was just the unplug it and plug it back in trick every IT department tells you to do, but it actually worked twice for me. Especially the part about opening the valve SLOWLY.

    at 1:40 you can hear the magic of releasing the pressure. Then I realized it was just wind chimes in the background.

    Thank you for this even though my issue was not with a Holland grill.
    The key is to open the tank valve SLOWLY.

    Most of the time it’s not the regulator. The propane tank was overfilled. Turn the tank on its side and open the bleeder valve for 10 seconds. Works every time.

    Make sure the burner knobs are turned off BEFORE you open the tank valve.

    Thanks….have a two burner grill and after changing the tank, only one burner would light. After purge, it lit immediately. Thanks again

    So, if it doesn't light after doing this, I need a new regulator, right?

    I don't trust the on off knobs. I think they might be cheap and leak. So I turn on/off at propane tank. But I have the slow flame. I will try your way.

  • @sasquatch-7634
    @sasquatch-7634 Год назад

    I bought a new tank and regulator and did your recommendation twice. Still almost no gas flow at all. Now what.

  • @mark1952able
    @mark1952able 3 года назад +1

    Gas is leaking from regulator regardless of trying what you mentioned. .....must be broken????

  • @lmo1131
    @lmo1131 4 года назад +17

    Did this twice. Disconnected gas, waited 5 minutes, re-connected, SLOWLY opened the valve on the tank... still low flames. You didn't tell us what other situation(s) this could be.

    • @joshuafoster23
      @joshuafoster23 2 года назад +5

      Yeah, wouldnt that be nice.. i have a few regulators that are slow and couple with no flow. Guess ill keep searching. Ill let you know if i find answers

      I’ve had the same problem and looked up a bunch of RUclips videos that all talk about the same thing. Just buy a new hose and regulator on Amazon for 10 to 20 bucks.

    • @Uneke
      @Uneke 7 месяцев назад

      Pour cold water on it
      It’ll unfreeze it
      DONT USE HOT. Could crack it

    • @randallolson8817
      @randallolson8817 2 месяца назад

      Sometime the burner tube holes rust, try cleaning them with a small nail, or oxy/acetylene torch tip cleaner

  • @badactor3440
    @badactor3440 2 года назад

    I wonder if this procedure fixes a pulsating flame

  • @Uneke
    @Uneke 7 месяцев назад

    Mine keeps freezing up (it’s winter). So I just pour cold water on it lol not hot enough to break it or cause a big change in temp but warm enough to unfreeze it

  • @gary9432
    @gary9432 5 лет назад +11

    So basically , don't turn on the gas too hard or it will trip the regulator ?.

  • @doronmerdinger6455
    @doronmerdinger6455 3 года назад +3

    After turing on the gas valve , there is gas leak coming out between the connecting head and the actual regulator . (It is an original new gas hose) Any idea what can cause it?

    • @colbraddock9913
      @colbraddock9913 2 года назад

      Yes it's leaking, replace the whole regulator/ hose assembly, no compromise for safety, being cheap now will cost you later.

    • @jimmywhite8640
      @jimmywhite8640 2 года назад

      Could also be the o ring on the tank.

  • @vice8063

    First time connecting tank to grill and it hissed at me while connecting (tank was off) and I almost sh*t myself and walked away to find this. So that’s normal?

  • @francisconovoa589
    @francisconovoa589 4 года назад +1

    I did that but it didn’t work, then I saw a little hole, I think is a vent on the regulator and the gas leaking through that vent really bad, do I need a new regulator?

    Can't you just close the tank valve, open the burner valve to achieve the same affect?

    • @hohowan360
      @hohowan360 4 года назад +1

      How do you both have the same type of avatars? I don't know for sure but I don't think it's the same because the pressure you're trying to relieve is between the regulator and tank connection.

  • @ninoechavez1402
    @ninoechavez1402 4 года назад

    Just wanted to ask, does the coupling normally have a rubber seal inside? Thanks

    • @joshuafoster23
      @joshuafoster23 2 года назад

      It depends on brand and model and how precise they machine the pieces. Usually there is one at least. Sometimes veg fiber gasket as well but not always on gas fittings if every one of the components are precision tight.

    is it possible that my AMERI-GAS Propane exchange tanks are all bad...I've gotten 3 brand new regulator and hoses from WEBER GRILL and a exchange propane tank it leaks out the regulator yet again. Im thinking its these damn AMERIGAS exchanges that i get down the street at the MARATHON station. I don't have the silly receipt for it however. I see a black rubber gasket on the propane side that is oblong , oval not round...is that my problem? can i replace it or am i screwed at this point? can i put some 3 in one oil on the black gasket to possibly be able to use this damn cylinder (tank) or should i just take this crap tank back. Or do you think i have a 4th f-ing bad regulator and hose from WEBER?? Sorry for cussing so much and thanks for the video. Anyone else want to chime in, please feel free !!!

    • @joshuafoster23
      @joshuafoster23 2 года назад

      Sounds like a possible user error situation no offense meant. We all repeat mistakes until we know better. I'd recommend the mr heater hoses, specifically the ones that have the rubber that doesn't break down.good luck if you haven't solved yet.

  • @rodt9380
    @rodt9380 6 лет назад

    I have a problem and maybe you can help. I have a leak as seen on this video >>>: Leaking propane gas regulator on grill (enohcs channel). Per the comments on that video, some claim is the tank that has the problem, but I see the leak coming from the connection/fitting in the brass on the LP Regulator hose assembly... can you give your opinion. Thanks.

    • @artincorona

      It only needs to be purged when you have tripped the safety regulator and you're not getting enough Flame on your Appliance.

      @Vfh........y 3 года назад +3

      Check out the orifice where the gas sprays into the pickup tube inside the grill sometimes a little spider or a little small insect of sorts will build a web in there. Most of the times it is a restriction in the gas line

  • @motube2389
    @motube2389 4 года назад

    Not sure if this guy is trolling or what! But absolutely what he’s done here is just unnecessary and does nothing except having to check again for leaks since it’s a new attempt to make a good seal with the tank 🤦‍♂️
