Informative video however I would highly recommend getting a couple of adjustable wrenches (Crescents) instead of using pliers on anything that has hex or 2 flats on it. Pliers damage the hex and can create burrs that can cut or even go into your skin. Appliance technician for 18 years, mechanic since I was 5.😉

You also don't need to open the valve very much. The valve will flow FAR more gas than the regulator will anyway, so there's no point to opening the valve all the way. Just crack it enough to cook with. That will make the safety device far less likely to kick in, and if there's an emergency that requires you to close the valve, you don't want to spend several seconds closing the valve. Just crack it, and it takes a split second to turn off the gas.

FYI you're holding those pliers upsidedown, relying on your hand strength to keep them gripped on the fitting. If you flip them over so the small inner jaw is the direction you're pulling, the pliers mechanical advantage will help tighten the jaws around the fitting. For reference, in the video both pliers are upside down as you loosen the fitting. But when you're tightening the fitting the blue pliers are correct while the red ones on top are upside down.

This is like the most important thing to know, yet the one absolutely nobody knows about. Took me like 12 years of using propane, 3 regulator replacements, numerous blowing out lines with air pressure and soaking the fittings etc. It wasn't till finally after looking up at least 10-15 videos on what else could be wrong after replacing my last regulator that I ran in to a video just like this one but with hardly any activity. Haven't had any problems since. Aldo I think when that safety device pops, you can smell the propane slightly by the regulator weep hole, that's one reason I kept replacing crap. Seems like every dad should know this or tell you this the very first day of propane use. But nobody knows about this at all. Hank Hill at a minimum, could have let this out.

Unable to fix my valve as well so I gave that 30 to a neighbor to scrap.

I got given a $750 Marine BBQ that had a weak flame. Propane can pick up fragments of the inside of the hose and carry them to the orfice that feeds the propane into the burner tubes clogging it. A little disassembly and a poke with a sewing needle and I have a really nice propane BBQ that won't embarrass me with that propane taste in my chicken. Regulators do get stuck and even seized with disuse. Especially around salt water. When this happens remove it from the propane cylinder and grab a trusty PLASTIC or rubber mallet and tap it all over to loosen the aluminum rust. This doesn't work on a regulator with a blown diaphragm. Just a stuck/seized one. My cozy cabin propane heater clogged it's orfice all the time. I eventually went and bought some COPPER wool and stuffed a bunch of it in the brass fitting between the hose and the appliance and cleaned out the orfice. That was the end of my clogging problem. Leaks in flare fittings can be sealed using polysulfide putty during assembly. Only use it on fittings with damaged flare seals that otherwise cannot be sealed. There is a tiny hole in your regulator's cover that allows atmospheric pressure to control the diaphragm of your regulator. If this is clogged or blocked it can cause inconsistent flame. Check it for rust or some bug's cocoon. I hope this helps.

Great Tips! I have that same model Weber and thier customer support talked me into replacing the regulator. Your suggestions would have saved me the hassle. Also it was nice that you explained the possible issues with the overfill protection device on the current tanks. My propane place is old school and the guy cracks open that screw every time he fills the tank to make sure the scale is reading correctly. When the tank is full - the liquid propane squirts out the screw and then he closes it. He said that ensures a correct fill, because the OPD can kick off before the tank is full.

This explains a lot. I thought I bought a defective grill. I had an old grill that I used for over 30 years. It used a regulator with male threads that went inside the valve. The old star handle tank. I hadnt used the grill for a number of years and imagine my surprise when I go to get the tank filled and get told that my tank is illegal. He fills it for me "this one time." I decide new tank new grill. The new grill works great, then one day I am grilling some burgers and I open the lid and the flame is low and the meat uncooked. After struggling to get everything to work I give up. Fast forward 5 years and I find this video that explains what is going on. I just might fire up that grill again.

We bought a Ducane gas grill 25 years ago. It replaced a Coleman that rotted to pieces. We had nothing but problems with it. We replaced burners, regulators & such. It was from poor gas flow. Like you it was just heating the food instead of cooking it. We suffered with it for 8 long years of constant heat issues. I decided enough playing around. We bought the last gas grill we'll ever buy. A 30" Solaire infrared grill. We were in the market for a Weber Genesis. Once I saw the Solaire at a colleagues house I knew we found the right grill! It heats up in 5 minutes no matter the outside temperature. It sears meat at up to 1100 degrees Fahrenheit. It can cook fish & vegetables as well on low. It uses half the propane & cooks at half the time. It's 18 years old & still looks brand new. I highly recommend their gas grills if you like Pittsburgh blue steaks. It chars the outside of the steak & inside the steak is blue rare. Ofcourse we get our steaks cut 2" thick at the butcher. Great content! I'm looking forward to your next video!

Dave If you turn on valve and leave grill off and wait a couple of minutes the line will equalize and the valve will reset. They use the same type of valve in your gas service so if you cut the line it will shut off gas to a light flow until it is shut off or repaired. We called them flow limiters and are installed on most plastic services.

Just to add to this, the hotter it is, the slower you want to go. One way to go is to crack the valve and stop as soon as you hear flow. Wait for it to fully presurize the system (assuming you aren't open to air) then open it on up. The excess flow valve gets tripped by the pressure differential. So if you let both sides of the valve come to the same pressure then you can open it on up without tripping it. This trick works with anything with an excess flow valve.

Thank you for the video. FIVE DAYS AGO I watched a video by -- "Pleasant Valley Outdoors" -- by the title -- "Propane Generator Fail". It covered this EXACT subject! He had a small duel-fuel generator that "sometimes" would only run with the choke wide open and then when he put a load on it it would die. THIS exact cause. The "Slug Valve" membrane gets inverted in the regulator(something like this I am not an expert). He only found the answer because a VERY helpful person on the customer assistance line helped him. She was NOT the first person he talked to and the others told him things like "buy a new regulator" or "get the generator serviced". SHE in the entire company was the ONLY one pushing to add this instruction to the user manual. OPEN VALVE SLOWLY. So THANKS for covering this. OPEN the valve SLOWLY. Saved my sanity.

Yeah, I learned the hard way too. About 15 years ago, I was in charge of cooking the entree for about 30 folks (mostly family) at a party. just couldn't get it to work! contacted Webber and someone there informed me, lol. Now I know better. I tend now to LEAVE the tanks turned on all the time. I'm sure someone will think that is terrible, but it isn't. Because I have 4 outdoor grills, if I don't leave the tanks on, SOMEONE is bound to come along an too abruptly turn on the tank, and have this problem! So, with the tank left on, that problem is more or less alleviated. People come up, figure out that the tank is on, then turn on the grill and it works. Later, I go around and find that some of them turned off the tank, so I carefully turn it back on for next time.

I had this problem a month ago. I was right in the middle of cooking when the tank ran out. I bought the replacement tank last summer and it looked like it had seen better days. Since I had never had this problem before, I swapped the tanks without closing all the valves. It wouldn't light up at all, so I assumed that the replacement tank was defective. I found the receipt for the tank, and I was getting ready to return it to where I had gotten it, but first I did some research and found out about the safety valve. I'm 60, and they changed the valves in 2002, I guess I didn't get the memo. I had to finish my cooking in the oven that day, but now I know better.

I learned this with my weed torch which uses tank pressure and a long line so it needs a slow opening. Similarly with patio heaters that have that long line and usually it's cold so the air in the line is less dense and compresses tripping the high flow. Eventually the bleed through will equalize the pressure and allow reset but only if you leave it alone. Better to do the resets as described in the video.

Great video! Thank you for helping me realize my issue was operator error.

It’s not operator error, it’s a design flaw mandated by NFPA 58. And why is nobody referring to it by its correct name? It’s an Excessive Flow Valve (EFV) which is built into the Overfill Protective Device (OPD).

Those are pliers, not wrenches.

Knipex (the silver and red one) calls them a "Pliers Wrench".

Glad it was helpful. It happens more often on holidays as we are all rushing a bit and spinning it too fast. Hopefully it saves some headaches in the future.

I have only had 3Q's. I am 66 yrs old.. A webber charcoal. and on my second Webber Spirit. Broke my heart to recycle my first spirit. She looked as good as the day I bought her. Just do not open the lid. Had aprox. 20 yrs.

good to know. I recently replaced my regulator to one that is adjustable. I think the regulator actually was bad, but if I had seen this video I would have tested the slow opening method. It's a large 5 knob (6 with side burner) grill so the adjustable is nice.

I switched to a Big Green Egg about ten years ago. I have not worried about propane problems since and the food tastes way better.

Excellent explanation on this ,I wish I would of known this years ago when we would set up many high power burners 6 to 8 at a time for doing a lobster fest and most of them would only produce a small flame which was pretty much useless trying to boil gallons of water taking much more time to boil the water and they were also new as you mentioned .Never knew the reason why a couple would work and others would not and Slowly turning the knob was one of the tricks I wasted more time fiddling with these things it was so frustrating . BTW I have the exact same grill as you and now I know what to do if it does this unbelievable how easy the fix is geez!Thanks for video it will be saved bookmarked for future use for sure!
