    Worked like a charm for my propane tankless water heater. You saved the day as well as $25-30 for a new regulator. Tech support failed to mention this tip. They said to replace the regulator.

    My new grill burners had yellow flames, sometimes no pressure at all. I followed manufacturer’s recommendations (disconnect for 30+ sec) and other tips from youtube like clean burners, blow compressed air, to no avail. Then I watched your video and noticed my regulator was upside down (grill came assembled). I swapped hose ends and made the regulator in the correct position. Lo and behold, every burner now burns blue flames! Thank you for your detailed video. I was very frustrated and ready to call for warranty claim. No more black soots to clean up.

    It's a good idea to check the handy work of a preassembled. . . Well anything. What they mean is they got the janitor or a 16 year old off the register to put it together. Professional assembly usually just means you paid for it and little more.

    What actually happens is that the cylinder valve is check locking due to the excess flow of propane from the cylinder. It is a normal action of the cylinder to not allow the excess flow of gas from the tank. When you shut off the valve and disconnect the regulator, you are resetting the valve on the cylinder. When you turn on your cylinder, always make sure the appliance is turned to the off position. Then turn the valve handle SLOWLY to the open position. This is what is happening. The gas or regulator is now freezing up. Sorry..

    Thanks Jeff....so my propane tank stays unattached all of the time when not in use. The grill has been very sporadic....turned on just fine the first time, didn't the next time, did the 3rd time, and now won't. any thoughts, like maybe the regulator isn't making a good connection to the tank? Right now I'm just getting a lot of 'tik tik tik' sounds when I try to turn it on...and when I disconnect the tank from the regulator I never hear a second or 2 of gas.
