Can you get bad propane?
Does Propane Expire? Unlike fuel sources that can degrade over time (kerosene, diesel, gasoline), propane fuel has no expiration date, nor will its potency suffer while being stored. The only thing you need to worry about when storing propane is maintaining the health and integrity of the propane storage tank.
How long do gas regulators last?
Generally, regulators should be replaced every five years. Each regulator is typically stamped by the manufacturer with its date of production.
What to do when propane is not flowing to appliances?
If it too senses too high of a volume of gas moving through the system, it will restrict the flow of gas. You can attempt to reset the pressure regulator yourself.This calls for turning off all the appliances in your RV and close the primary valve on the propane tank. Wait at least five minutes.
Why is LP gas not flowing to appliances?
Any wires other than for the gauge would be a good indication that you have a solenoid. We had a ’99 Endeavor that had a similar gas flow problem a few years ago. I found that one of the leads to the solenoid valve coil had corroded and broken off right at the edge of the bakelite coil shield.
What does it mean when propane valve is open but no gas comes out?
The Valve Is Open But No Gas Comes Out This is a statement propane cylinder users sometimes make following the exchangeor re-fillingof their bottle. The bottle feels heavier and obviously is filled with propane but opening the valve produces no escaping gas.
What happens if LP or propane pressure is inadequate?
LP or Propane Gas Pressures & Natural Gas fuel supply problems & solutions. Here we describe the common causes of inadequate LP or natural gas flow or pressure to appliances and generators. Inadequate gas flow can cause appliance malfunction such as backup generator surging and may be unsafe as well.

Why is propane not flowing through my pressure regulator?
Inside the regulator, there is a little valve that will detect propane gas moving through the system too quickly. If it senses this, it will stop or slow the flow of propane. If the pressure regulator is restricting the flow of propane, you will see the symptoms mentioned above.
