Watch This Before Purchasing A Regulator! Troubleshooting RV Propane Problems. 

That little brass piece on your new regulator is an adapter , you could have removed it and used your original hoses

GREAT VIDEO! You are so, so right! Be aware that when you connect something to your gas seals, the OPD valve will no longer close and you will no longer have any safety if a major leak occurs. Many people have no idea! Many people also do not know that there is now a propane safety product on the market that offers you maximum protection. Does a GasStop ( the only 100% shut-off propane safety device on the US market) gauge read the exact level of propane in the propane cylinder/tank? No, it reads the pressure of the propane under load/usage. While using your propane it will tell you: if you have normal working pressure (green zone), if you are about to run out of propane (red zone), or if you have higher pressure in the system (yellow zone). See the question “Is the pressure gauge useful?” for a more detailed breakdown of what the gauge can be used for and what it can tell you. The gas pressure gauge is a very useful, multipurpose tool. The gauge indicates when the gas cylinder is almost empty (a decline in the vapour pressure curve). The gauge does not indicate the exact amount of propane left in the cylinder. A steady pressure reading only indicates that propane is left in the cylinder. If the needle is pointing to: - HIGH: Increased gas pressure - GAS: Sufficient gas (steady pressure) - LOW: Almost empty (approximately 30 minutes left of gas use) As GasStop is directly installed into the cylinder there are a few variables that can affect unregulated pressure, namely: temperature, amount of liquified gas vs rate of vaporisation, gas type and gas purity. There may also be other irregularities which affect the pressure reading. As per the instructions, it is advised to run the gas for a small period of time to have a better indication of gas level. This allows the propane/pressure to reach something called “phase equilibrium”. Further to this point there is a “vapour pressure curve”, this is why it is recommended to run the bottle for a short while to allow for this process. NB the gauge is also useful to represent the following: Visual evidence of pressure decay (a minor leak) in a lock-up pressure test scenario. Visual evidence of high pressure Visual evidence of a shut-off (ONLY a GasStop shuts-off in case of a major leak, no other device do's!). Visual evidence of an activated and stable system Visual evidence of variable/unstable pressure Lots more information about GasStop here: gasstopusa.com/about-the-gasstop/frequently-asked-questions Also try not to bend your gas hose so tightly that it could cause breakage when it is getting dry. Check out here: www.gas-gear.com *We highly support these types of videos because people need to become better educated about using propane to prevent unexpected and unnecessary accidents. We don't say anything about what is better or not, we try to explain the difference between your current gas system and the installation with a GasStop. Manny safe travels, Team GasStop.

my regulator spews gas out from the disconnected from the tank pig tail, regardless of which tank is selected ??
