Your propane regulator is defective and will need to be replaced. Do not use it. Contact your local propane co and bring it in for a replacement. Some retailers like K-Mart, Target or Wal-Mart will also have regulators, but if yours if not standard, it may need to be ordered by a Ducane grill reseller like Amerigas Propane, which is the largest propane co in the U.S.

How far do I open screw on fuel tank? Fuel not getting through for Smoke Hollow proseries grill.

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

Unable to get gas our of 'Blue Rhino" propane

The problem is an easy fix. Replace the current Hose/Regulator Assembly with a new one. They run about $30.00, at home centers and hardware stores that sell grills and accessories.

Once you install the new one and connect it to the gas tank, open the gas tank valve Very Very Slowly (Slow Motion, Slow) until it's fully open. If you don't do it this, the new regulator will lockup.

Hope this helps you & thanks for choosing FixYa.

Hi i purchased a brinkman 2545 5 burner grill already preassembled from walmart when i connected it to propane tank i tried to burn off and it would only heat to 275 degrees i read troubleshooting about...

Glad you saw the troubleshooting part concerning the regulator, but unless you turned the tank valve on VERY, VERY SLOWLY (slow motion, slow) after reconnecting the hose. That's the problem. The hose should remain disconnected for 5 minutes, before reconnecting. As the regulator needs time to reset itself. If that doesn't solve the problem, be sure the propane tank has enough gas to supply all the burners properly.

Hope this helps to get you up and grilling.

I have a 40,000 BTU propane reddy heater. I just refilled the tank and attached it to the heater like I normally do but now when I start it it will run fine then it will flare up and shoot out orange flame...

Did they over fill the tank and you are getting pure liquid to the heater..... Sounds like when you use a propane bottle hand torch and tip it up side down the flame turns orange and goes out. Also the regulator vent may have gotten plugged with dirt or ice. May try and bleed some of the propane pressure off of the top of the tank....... But make sure you have it outside and plenty of ventaltion and no open flame any where...... Propane is lighter than air so it settles down on the ground at the lowest point.....hope this helps..... Or you could take it back to your suppler and get a different tank.

Propane was leaking between tank and regulator on my BBQ. Replaced with three new regulators and two new propane tanks but still get strong hissing from vent hole and strong smell of propane when I open...

I would recommend you take the regulator, hose and 20# cylinder to your local propane co and have them check it out for you. Or if possible, just load the entire bbg in a truck and bring it all to them. Call first to schedule a time that can look at it. If you replaced the tank and the regulator, my guess is that you probably have a cracked fitting or the fitting is missing an integral part that seals it to the tank. Douglas

The line & valve on my grill's propane tank freeze up

I suggest cleaning and drying out the line as it sounds like there may be water in it.
Liquid propane could be getting into your regulator as well, make sure your propane tank is upright with the output on the top.
Make sure your regulator vent hole is clean and is facing down toward the ground.
If you are in a very cold or humid climate, you may also want to look into a regulator cover.
