Propane tank wouldn't refill...

We had that problem last year in Washington (State) we were told that our tank was too old to fill. I emailed Cary this spring and he said that is not the case that all the tanks they have used have the correct valves. We will try getting ours filled soon for our summer trip.

 

I have encountered something a little different; on rare occasions I’ve had to tap the regulator a few times to get gas to flow when cooking. Our 550 is a 2010 model serial 386, but has the old regulator that CampInn states is 2007 and prior according to their website. Probably it’s overdue for a new regulator.

 

I had trouble getting mine filled the last time. The "kid" told me it was already full when it wouldn't take any fuel. I explained the tare weight indicated it was empty and that he had opened the valve to quickly causing the automatic cutoff to trip. This is an added safety feature when they went to the new type of valve a few years ago. An empty tank is only empty of gas and can still have air pressure.

The solution is just to wait five minutes for the valve to reset, then opening the tank very slowly so it won't trip again.
