Propane tank - no pressure or low pressure when full -FIXED!!! 

Your a RU-vid hero not because you helped with our fix but didn't waste 20m to explain a one minute problem and didn't throw in a bunch of sponsorships. You are a hero sir 🇺🇸

Thanks for getting straight to the point, some people need to take 15 minutes for a fricken video that could've been done in 15 seconds.

Trent you’re the man! Short and to the point! Saved me a lot of frustration! Thank you!

I was headed to buy a new regulator after trying two full tanks. I got on line to see what I could find to fix. Your a life saver. Such a simple fix. Thank you sir !

Thank you so much! I had my LP tank filled earlier this year. Didn't think I had a problem until I tried to hook up my LP gas grill to the motorhome. Thought it was my grill at first. Then figured out it was something with my on-board tank. Found your video and it worked perfectly. Again, thank you!

Wish I'd found this last night. Ran out of gas in the middle of grilling and bought a new tank. Had this exact problem and didn't know how to fix it. Thought I was going to have to return the tank today, so now there's hope. Thanks for the video!

Wow Trent! As many have said you are the man!! Took a 20 pounder camping grill took forever to get hot and cook. Brought it home, put on my outdoor fireplace and had a poor flame. Did ur fix and holy shit 18” flames. Great to the point! New subscriber!

I should try this on my Northern lite Camper as we're having problems with propane not working. Quick and simple video perfect man.

Straight to the point and worked for me! Must be too high of pressure when refilled by the company that restricts the flow. Thanks!

HOLY CARP! This worked great! Dinner is saved! Thanks so much for the "to the point" video.

The best video out there, all the other videos didn't work, this got me back burning meat.

Bought a new grill tank, had it filled and installed it... Wife was complaining that it wasn't going over 200 degrees after 10 minutes. Saw and watched this video as I was stumped. BOOM 500 DEGREES........ ALL FIXED. Thanks a million

Wanted a burger and the tank was getting low, but the propane getting to the grill wouldn't support enough flame to warm my hands. Turned off the grill, but didn't disconnect. Your procedure worked like a charm.

Thank you. Very simple short video with clear instructions.

Sir, I really appreciate your tip, you are correct. It fixed my problem. Thank you very much!

I think I've counted 9 or 10 hidden features within these propane and regulator systems that will cause it to not let gas pass through. Each YT video reveals another safety feature to protect me from blowing up.💣

wow! something I saw on RU-vid that worked for me. thanks brother.

This worked. Thanks for not being off those annoying bigmouths that like to hear their own voice and take 15 minutes to explain something that takes 15 seconds.

This worked great, thank you. Inquiring minds would like to know what exactly is done by doing this tho, thanks!

Thank you, thank you! It is 1:30 a.m. and 12° outside. I needed to change my propane tank but then the furnace would not start in my camper. This saved me.

Works on tanks at any level! Thank you.

This saved me some aggravation. I just had a 40# and a 30# filled and both weren’t sending out enough propane to my heater. The heater would shut off in a few minutes in a cold MN garage. My regulator was freezing and dripping liquid propane from it too. Did this and now they both are working great again. Thank you!

On a Weber grill, the burner will sometimes not produce full output. This is often caused by the valve on the tank not being fully turned on. According to Weber, the tank should be completely disconnected from the grill, wait about 10 seconds, and then reconnect it. The regulator may have gone into what is called "safe mode", and will be reset by this disconnecting and reconnecting of the bottle. Make sure the valve is turned completely on and then re-light the grill. This is often the problem when the grill will only reach around 250 degrees.

This works! Gotta love RU-vid!

Saved dinner tonight. Worked like a charm! Thank you!

You the man! It’s working as it should!! Thanks for sharing.

Super helpful and easy to take care of, thank you

I usually just pick up the pre-filled cylinders from my corner store but they just put in a Tractor Supply close and decided to get them filled (full 20lbs not like the 14-15 the store gives you) and they would only trickle out. Thanks great tip.

It worked like a charm! Thank you Trent

Would be nice to know why this works.

You just saved me dinner! Thank you!!!

thanks so much for getting to the point , some guys just want to talk and talk , silly

This worked beautifully! Thank you!

This ranks as one of the best videos on the internet because like someone else said, no one else mentioned it. This will save me time in the future. Thank you.

you are the man..my tank ran out..I have 5 folks here..just filled the other and it wasnt working.,..this trick saved the day!! I had to do mine multi times for 15 secs..is it overfilled when this happens?

Trent, you're the man! And thanks especially for getting right to the point and a good explanation. I'm a new subscriber!

Just saved an endless amount of ducking trouble

Thanks a million! Was really frustrated to have a full tank I didn't think I could use. A quick release, and now it works fine!

thanks, i was heading to the store but you help me fix it

Worked perfectly!! Thanks!

Saved my weekend barbecue. This definitely worked !!

Nice try....thanks but it didn't work. I'm so tired of screwing with this. Got any other suggestions. Thanks!

You saved dinner tonight!

Thanks for saving dinner!!

Trent, thanks for this video - quick and to the point. This fixed my problem. Keep 'em coming

Life saver! Thank you sir!

Recently, my propane tanks act like they are empty when they are only about 3/4 full. So, I've been refilling them after they are about 3/4 full. I use them for the RV, so I am wondering if that's the system making sure it has enough propane for the refrigerator before it runs out? It only shows that propane is low for the water heater and it stops turning the water heater on.

In my case the no pressure problem was the spring valve inside the valve! The one that releases the gas when you connect the grill gas hose!

Good choice of word " Boom " lol !!🤪

I've watched 10 different videos and none mentioned this! "New" to camping and filled my tanks, but nothing came out. I had no idea I had to do this. Thanks for being direct, to the point, and more importantly: a life saver.

I just went through this on my bbq. I shut the tank off and opened it back up slowly and it worked. I'll do what you showed next time.

Great tip. Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing...

Amazing. Thanks mate

Brother, you saved my butt. I’m camping at Margaritaville, Auburndale FL. I had no pressure whatsoever. Brand new RV, with two propane tanks (30lbs each). I honestly thought I had a leak. Saw your video, fixed the regulator. Thank you brother, I’ll upload the video soon!!

If you don’t have a screwdriver handy, you can accomplish the same thing by closing the valve on the tank, unscrew the regulator from the tank to release the line pressure, put the regulator back on the tank, then open the tank valve VERY SLOWLY.

Don't know what you do for a living but my friend you deserve a raise!!!

Awesome - you rock!

Your a life saver I’ve returned over the course of years so many not knowing it was this works like a charm thanks Bud!!!

Trying to figure out what to do. Followed this, removed the hose, re-attached it and when i go back to turn on the gas again like normal, still no pressure coming out unless i loosen the screw again

This was a tremendous help, thanks!

So the pressure regulator gets slowed because there’s too much gas?

can someone explain what is going on here?

That "little screw" on the side is a "relief valve". Modern cylinders have a OPD Valve . ( Overfill Protection Devise ) Even though most of these comments compliment you for being 'short & sweet' but I think you should have WARNED of possible EXPLOSION or FIRE . Don't do this near a source of spark or fire. ...... Jus sayin , "BE CAREFUL"

WORKED! Thanks

is this with the tank valve opened or closed?

This was the best 60 secs of my week! Normally in many videos I wish that I could have the last 20 minutes of my life back! 😅 it cured my issue!

Fantastic video, but can anyone explain the science behind this? Lol. I’m just curious. It’s just letting out air? In the air is taking the displacement of the liquid fuel?

Wish I’d known this before buying a new hose!

Is this the same guy that owned Bills Mower Shop in the movie Sling Blade ? LOL Thanks for the tip

Thanks so much for the advise. My full tank wasn't working at all. Took it out, bled as you described, now it works. Cool!

WHAT? No family history? You forgot to tell us where you bought the tank, how much it cost, what model pickup truck you were driving, or if your mother-in-law was with you when you bought the screwdriver.

The set screw is a vent to the cylinder. The reason you loose gas supply is the regulator shuts off due to excessive flow. By opening the set screw you are momentarily lowering the pressure in the cylinder and also the regulator allowing the regulator to reset. You are also venting alot of gas to the atmosphere. It is much safer to shut the tank off, remove the regulator then install it again.....

Didn’t work for me. 😢 I blame crappy old blue rhino exchange. I’ve gone back to getting filled. Good vid though! 😊

I was trying to get my forge going and it would burn like 1 to 2 min and stop ....did what you suggested and it worked ty so much I was about to throw shit lol😊

Maybe there was air in the tank? I have a new tank that should have been vacuumed, but who knows who’s turned the valve? I think the moisture in air can freeze the regulator up.

Bro thank you!!!! You saved me a bunch of headaches and money! God bless you!

I bled my tank 10 times for 2 minutes. Wasted a lot of gas in the end. I just took a screwdriver and pushed it in with a hose. Goes into the tank and push that spring loaded valve which must have been stuck. It went bump and then it always better. Could have saved a quarter of a tank of gas

I try dumping cold water on the tank and valve first, lowering the temperature often lowers the pressure enough without releasing any gas.

Best fix it video I ever watched! Thank you

Do u have main valve open or closed when u do this?

dude.....I just did this ........worked like a charm............most people would go for the regulator right away...........

perfect, worked in 5 seconds! thanks for the tip

Thanks a million.

The trick worked for about a minute then flame on stove went low again. Any ideas? Why does this work for some anyway? Isn't that just a bleed screw?

Does it matter if the tank is on or off or connected to something or not?

You can also do the same thing by making sure the valve is closed on tank and the grill before installing or attaching any regulator, because the regulator is actually on a fail safe equalization lock out and won’t deliver the correct pressure to the burners. You will actually hear a click of the regulator when you open the tank valve

The problem is caused by an automatic cut off that's supposed to help if a hose is ruptured. It also cuts off if the tank is over pressure or is tipped too far.

You are a genius! This worked and took just seconds. Thank you.

Freakin perfect. Short sweet and right to the point. Worked like a charm.

Another quick fix to a stuck OPD shutoff is to pick up the tank about 4 inches and slam it down.

I mean if you actually have a u.s.a made hose set up with better made accessories and not some Chinese carp you wouldn't need to do that...

Thank u

Thanks grate tip

It's overfull. There is a set screw vent on the thr valve that you just need to loosen to let some of the propane out.

nothing worked.. put another tank on, ran it, then put tank that didn't work on.. now it works.

😅thank you. I have tossed out bbqs that I thought were toast but now know how to fix them

Propane needs some air in the tanks..that's why they only put 4 1/2 gallons in..if it's to full the regulator will freeze up and sometimes ruin itself.

Thank you! We can grill our bratwursts now!

Thank You !!
