      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological: bidness, customers, tools, troubleshooting, flavorite brewski, whatever. Webcams and microphones are open and live!
      This workshop is also a great time for any students at Master Samurai Tech to bring any and all questions about the coursework. We're happy to walk through any concepts you're having trouble with. Think of it like office hours with your teachers. 
      If you have a specific appliance problem you'd like us to talk about, post it here! We need a problem statement and a PDF of the tech sheet or schematic so we can all see it on screen share. If you have a PDF that isn't already in the File library here at Appliantology, send it to us by attaching it to the contact form. 
      Also, follow this Calendar Event so you'll get notified of new posts here. Look for the "Follow" button either at the top of the topic on desktop or below the topic on mobile.

If you follow the Maintenance Instruction in the manual provided by RegUs-PatOff you will most likely correct your problem.

I changed the pressure regulator on the propane tank and heater has run for thee days now with out any problems. Thanks to those who responded and special thanks to RegUs-PatOff for the link to manual.

Good Job posting the outcome ! Was the regulator you replaced of the same pressure/voulume ? Did you refill the tank at the same time ?

Install a drip leg on the gas supply line at the regulator to keep moisture from fouling the new regulator and causing new problems.

Remember to drain the drip leg yearly.
