Ed, good post

I had one company call me in cause they would get about an hour out of a tank and it would stall, tank off an almost full tank and install a new and would get just another hour. I got there and they had the hose installed in a way that the only way to hook it up was that the alignment hole on the tank was at the 12 o'clock position instead of the 6 lol. Opps!

Whenever checking a fuel issue always check the LPG coupling at the tank. Look inside the coupling on the hose. It should have NO rubber parts in it. DO NOT PRESS THE PIN IN THE CENTER!!!!! Only the tank's coupling has rubber parts. I get about 40 calls a year with this being the issue.

This is always step one, and a lot of the times, it's the final step lol.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
