How to fix a stuck valve handle on a propane tank 

Thank you for posting this video! I was ready to give it up and call someone then I found this. Putting all my weight on is what worked after trying the other 2 options. 🤗

I don’t even have a propane tank and I loved this post! ❤️

Thanks. Your video worked. I actually stood on top of the knob with one foot and it started to turn. Amazing!

Ok so I got this propane tank a year and half ago it was stuck. I came to your site and did what you said and perfect thank you it worked!!!

It's 4am and minus 5 and I could not turn on valve as too tight. Omg thank you so much it worked💜💜

Putting weight on it and turn worked for me. Thanks for the tip!

That worked.. putting down pressure on the valve handle. Thank you! ☺️

Got a newly filled propane tank and the valve wasn’t working. Did the bleed off valve, as suggested for 30sec, that did the trick. You sir, saved my 4th of July cook out 🫡

Option 3 with some brute force on top of weight worked. Thanks to you and your daughter!

Thank you, sir, that worked! I put my weight on it, and it turned. And I'm just a girl!😂

Love the little girl!!! She's a star!!! Thanx DAd!!

that is really useful. thanks.

That is very helpful. Unfortunately soon as I stop putting pressure on the valve the hissing noise gets louder.

Worked for me, last time I just swapped a full tank at Blue Rhino and wasted money. 😢

The weight fixed the wait!! 😅😂. Thanks!

Thank you for this great information!

Very informative information thanks for sharing 👍

The weight thing worked for me. Thanks!

Ty. Step one and Two did the trick

Thank you the put weight on it worked for me!!!

Thank you for helping us! ❤

That thing is a loaded gun that will burn you severly

I got one tried all three methods none worked maybe I'll try it in the morning. It was a tank delivery service so they'll be coming back out this week. And please practice safety when bleeding the valve you're letting gas out all over the place prior to lighting a grill.

My tank handle was stuck. PRV, oil and downward pressure wasn't working. Took a rubber mallet and gave it a few solid cracks (clockwise) and it came loose.

Thank you

Tried everything and than I finally got it opened with a hammer 😅.. wish I would of started with that 😂😂😂

Thank you so much!

Unfortunately none of the 3 things mentioned worked for me, followed it to the letter, still stuck. Tank is about 2/3 full.

Can you bleed off Valve while it’s connected to firepit? Or should I disconnect first ?? Sorry I’m a girly girl lol

What kind of oil?

I couldn't get my valve open, but the bleed trick is going to enable me to dispose of the tank responsibly (or maybe reuse it - turn into a stove or something...)

Hello, the valve of my tank propane is stuck in the open position, Will what you show in the video help me close the tank again?

Can I spray WD-40 on the stem of the valve? Last time I barbequed I had a really difficult time opening the valve because I shut it off after every use, I had to use channel locks to open the valve because it was hurting my hand ✋🤕😫. Also how can I tell at what level of fullness my tank is? There's nothing more annoying than having the meat on the grill and running out of propane half way through and having to stop what I'm doing to go fill the tank back up again 😩. Thank you

My screw wont even turn. Guess im totally screwed
