Carole V . No it will not hurt it. Your refrigerator is an absorption system and does not have a motor. It will be ok

That was the most odd question .... If you turn off the propane and electric, HOW if the frig still ON..??

Can you still use propane with one tank while the other is removed getting refilled?

Yes, you are if it is working properly.

I have a 9k generator what will I need to use a auto change over for 100# dual tank a setup will be running with a 15 foot -1/2 inch hose to my generator ? Also what about the regulator that is already on generator what happens with that ?

You have too many variables in your question to give a definitive answer but one thing is for sure; Regulators, and the change over is one, can not be put in line (unless designed that way for an application) and come out with the lowest pressure.

Tank size makes no difference. I have 2 30# tanks and 2 100# tanks. One 5 ft hose and one 4 ft hose and an auto change over regulator. So what. It's like you are asking if you can paint a Dodge red and drive a Chevy. Makes no sense. Does your generator run on propane is the question. If it does, then wheres the problem with what you have. I don't like stress either. Keep it simple and have a great day.

Mine does not change over any more since they changed the tanks by adding the over fill valves.I have opened the valves slowly and that does not help.

What is straight up at the valve lever, ???? Closed, Both? can you be more clear about the valve ?

Having up between the two allows gas to come from both tanks

Mine is showing black or red

Black is gas is in the tank, red is tank empty

So why is this thing called an automatic change over. You stated the red Shows as indication the tank is low, at which point one needs to manually switch over two second tank.

It automatically starts feeding from the tank that it is NOT pointing to, when the one that it is pointing to is empty.

You did not explain how it automatically changes over. SMH!

When the lever is on one side and that tank on that side runs out of gas, and thus gas pressure, the baffle inside switches over. At that point the gas is coming from the tank opposite of the direction the lever is pointing.

Thanks I watched a different video and figured it out. 1. Turn on both propane tanks 2. Select either tank to pull from 3. Selected tank runs out 4. Valve will internally switch to other tank without flipping the lever 5. The sight glass will now read red on the direction of empty tank. While pulling from full tank 6. You can now flip lever to full tank and the sight glass will read green. 7. Pull empty tank to get filled 8. Install full tank and open valve 9. Automatic will internally flip when tank is empty.

So it really isn't "automatic". You still run out of propane and then need to change the selector switch yourself.

No it really is automatic. It automatically switches from tank one to tank 2 while you’re asleep so you won’t wake up cold.

@@Trvparts ok. I changed the old one on my 1991 fifth wheel and waiting to see how it operates in comparison to the old one. From the videos I watched, I gathered there is no real difference except the orrifaces for the threads to the propane hoses. Thanks for reply

This is NOT automatic ... You just manually turned the lever ...

@Trvparts

The reason they call it Automatic is when the one tank is empty it Automatically changes to the full tank. Then you have to turn the switch to the full tank B4 you fill the empty tank.

Ok... that i get but then the other tank will go empty which means you will have to move that lever a 2nd time to the FULL tank to allow you to remove the empty tank ... From what i am seeing here, you attach 2 tanks ... turn ON both tanks and allow the gas flow, when the 1st one goes empty, it will switch to the full tank automatically BUT when you go to remove the empty tank, you must turn the lever to the FULL tank so that you can remove the empty tank, get it re-filled, connect it back... Now the process has started again, as the one tank goes empty, you have to turn the lever AGAIN to the FULL tank to allow removal of the empty tank ... While all this is automatic to a degree, you still have to turn the lever to the full tank to allow removal of the empty tank ... every time .. !! The way i see it, you should NOT have to turn any lever at anytime, when the one tank is empty, you should just be able to remove it, get it filled and re-attach it without having to turn any lever ... It should be designed so that when it swaps over to the other tank, it isolates the empty tank for easy removal .. and so forth.. never having to turn any lever ... But it does not work that way ...
