It’s amazing how a routine chore can turn into a nightmare.

I went out for propane about an hour ago and hooked up normally. Suddenly, liquid propane started to spew out of both ends of my hose! I shut down the system, burning myself in the process. I unhooked and made sure the hose connections were clean and tight, then tried again. Same problem. I went back to the office to see if it was possible for the tank to be overfilled; the guy said no because of the overflow valve.

He sent ‘help’ and two guys came to look over my system. They were a little condescending and I’m pretty sure they thought I’m dumb, but they were able to give my tank the all clear and narrow down the problem to the hose itself. I’ll replace it tomorrow, provided the RV place is open.

I really don’t like using the 30lber, but it’s definitely more convenient than having to pack up and move the rig to fill up the on board tank.
