Try this:
Reset the regulator by turning off the burners on your gas grill. Turn off the propane tank and disconnect the hose from the tank. With your gas grill lid open, turn the burner knobs to high for about two minutes, and then turn them off again. Reconnect the hose to your propane tank and slowly turn on the gas.
*** some regulators, not all need this to be done for safety.

Hope I helped

    Sorry, I just re=read your post and seen the Had tank refilled. You may have lost the rubber seal in the tank. Look into the part where you screw the Regulator into you should see a rubber seat in there.

SOURCE: replace fuel pump 2002 GMC Sierra

I don't think there is enought slack to drop the tank without unhooking the lines. You can take this advise if you want or not its up to you, but i always found it easier to unbolt the bed and lift it back about a foot and i could get right at the sender where the pump is and in some cases i dident even have to unhook the fuel lines, pull the sending unit out chg. the pump and put it back together. Or you can do it the other way, unhook the lines, electrical wires, filler hose, and straps, if its got gas in it better have some help 8# a gal. adds up.

it should have a guard where it goes into the tank to prevent people from stealing gas. my recommendation is A. try a long skinnier hose and dip it down as far as possible and then retrieve it and see if the end is wet with fuel. B. drop the fuel tank.

Be sure to check any and all fuses and relays according to the owners manual.
or Call a dealer and I'm sure they can assist you over the phone.

Black smoke comes from exaust when I start. Could it overfuel and how can I fix it if its a new carb on my 88 2e 12valve
assuning there is nothing major wrong, get some forte injector and use it as recommended. I once had a renault laguna diesel fail an MOT test, a roadworthiness test that is, on emissions...it was absolutely chucking out black smoke but the engine ran well. I put 2 bottles of injector cleaner in the half full tank and went out for an eighty mile drive revving the engine in the lower gears. I returned to the testing station an hour and a half later and the engine was running perfectly.
Alternatively, assuming the engine runs well but is just a little smokey, have it terracleaned, this will remove most of the carbon deposits from the engine/exhaust and should increase the life of your engine simultaneously improving fuel economy

What are the steps to replace the fuel pump on a chevy trailblazer 2002
This is what it looks like and it is located in the gas tank:


c17hydro_197.gif
First, you'll need to use up as much fuel as possibly, if not, you'll have to drain the tank. Next:

  1. Drain the fuel tank.
  2. Support the fuel tank.
    1. Remove or disconnect the following:
    2. Negative battery cable
    • Filler neck from the tank
    • Shield from tank and tank straps
    • Fuel lines and vapor hose from pump
    • Electrical connection from fuel pump
    • Fuel tank
    • Fuel pump/sending unit assembly by turning the locking ring (located on top of the fuel tank) counterclockwise using a spanner wrench
    • Fuel pump from the fuel lever sending device
    • NOTE
    The fuel pump strainer must be in a horizontal position when the fuel sender is installed in the tank. When installing the sender assembly, make sure that the fuel pump strainer does not block full travel of the float arm.

    To install:

    1. Install or connect the following:
      • Fuel pump in tank with new seal around opening

      NOTE

      The fuel pump strainer must be in a horizontal position when the fuel sender is installed in the tank. When installing the sender assembly, make sure that the fuel pump strainer does not block full travel of the float arm.

      • Tank and connect fuel lines and vapor hose
      • Tank to the frame. Torque the fasteners to 33 ft. lbs. (45 Nm).
      • Shield
      • Fuel filler neck and clamp
      • Negative battery cable
    2. Refill the tank.
    3. Run the engine and check for leaks.

    I have put 8 litres of diesel in my 2005 renault scenic i have topped it up with 25 litres of petrol and run it for about 20 miles so far will this be ok once the the tank is empty
    The 8 liters of diesel mixed with the 25 liters will make the vehicle smoke a little but if you continue to dilute the diesel/petrol mixture with petrol as your tank level goes down you should have minimal problems. When the tank gets to half you should refill it with petrol for at least two times. The main two problems I could think of that would cause you any concern would be the fuel filter getting partially plugged and the injectors gumming up. By continuing to dilute the tank with petrol you should be okay because the filter and injectors will clean themselves up while you drive. Just make sure you do not take any short drives. Let the engine warm up to operating temperature until you have ran at least two complete tanks of petrol through it.

    Car not getting fuel
    If it is a 1980 Caddy it either has a carburetor or throttle-body fuel injection( V864, if it's fuel injected you might need a new fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator ) and you can remove the aircleaner lid and pour a little gas down the carb (hold the choke plate open with a screw driver placed between choke plate and carb air horn) or throttle-body. It might take a few tries before the fuel pump fills the float bowl up on the carb for it to keep running. If the cars has really old stale gas in the tank you might need to drain it and refill with fresh gas. Change the fuel filter and add a can of fuel injector-carb cleaner to the gas tank.
