This grill is 8 years old with the original regulator. The regulator has just started leaking gas when I got a new tank. I'm not sure if this is due to a faulty regulator (grand hall model 7060 regulator).
Check regulator to see that the rubber seal in the tank coupling
is still good if this has perished or fallen out this maybe the cause of
gas at this point.
best purchase a new regulator if it seems faulty, this part is your life saver, and after 8 years good service could well need replacement.
I hope this was useful.
SOURCE: Replacing hoses and regulator on gas grill
I work for a propane co. I get many customers that bring in their melted or leaking bbq grill hoses and regs. Bring the bad hose/reg to your local propane gas co and see if they can make a custom hose for you. You may have to buy a new regulator to use it with the new hose, but that's better than buying a new grill. Call around first and see which ones can do it. You'll eventually find someone that can fix you up.
Testimonial: "great suggestion - i'll give it a shot. Thank you!"
SOURCE: regulator freezing up
did you replace the regulater with a manufatures replacement for you grill or did you use an after market one? the reason i ask is because propane is very cold in liquid form and if your regulater allows more of the liguid to go to your burners than it should the moisture in the air will contact the outside of your regulater and freeze up on it. excessive propane would not change the color of the flame, however the i would check the burners to make sure that there are no blocked holes this would cause this to happen as well you are still safe to use the grill but cleaning the burners is a good idea. also there is a rating on the regulater make sure it matches the old one you replaced it with........good luck

I can tell you EXACTLY what is wrong. Remove the tank and open all valves to the grill. Reconnect the tank and turn it on just slightly. Relight the grill.
Ther is a safety device in the tank that needs to be reset. The only way to do it is removing the tank.
