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 word "robotics" was coined by Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov who first used the word in 1942 in his short story 'Runabout'. He characterised robots as helpful servants and as "a better, cleaner race."
