My pitco gas frialator oil leak in tank .how can

To check manifold pressure, there is a pressure tap on the manifold on which the burners are mounted. Remove the tap, hook up your manometer and turn the fryer on. Be sure you have no gas leaks once you reinstall the plug. The gas pressure should match what is on the data plate.

for the latest design of pitco frialator, the manufacturer added what they called the self-cleaning burner system.during start-up, ignition is delayed so that dust accumulating in the burner face will be removed once the gas build up on burner chamber ignites, it creates a weak explosion like sound.the next time you hear that during start up, the unit is cleaning its own burner, no need to worry.

Opening fryer door during operation does not correct gas leak problem.
If there is gas leak on your fryer's system, you have to fix the leak or replace parts if necessary.

If the main burners didn't light there shouldn't be a problem. If the main burners came on there could be some damage to the tank but there is no corrective action that can be taken. If damage was done it will usually leak cooking oil when filled. Was the gas valve turned to "pilot" or "on"?

Try removing the oil and boil out the fry tank.

Hi, I have the same issue, did you manage to locate the leak? I think mines comes from the heat tubes.

I am having the same exact problem and I am assuming either the tstat or high limit units have failed.....

id say change the valve that runs the gas has to be leaking

you need to change the pressure regulator,burner orfices and possibly the gas valve.goto northernparts.com and type in the model of the fryer for propane
