Rusty, I was told by a propane guy, that those new green easy on connectors should only be tightened snuggly. IF, you really tighten them, that they WILL, leak!! What another way to make $$$ers.??? Congrats on the new home coming. Safe travels.😀💕😀

Soapy water is a better idea than holding a match near the lines and watching for a flame up. Three stooges fan...

I had the same leak and it was the tank. I switched tanks and it was fine. There is a small rubber grommet or o ring inside the tank valve, it was dry rotted and cracked .

Thanks for the propane info, Rusty. I just purchased a tiny travel trailer and will be using propane for the first time. I am scared to death to light the water heater or whatever is in the side of the trailer. I will have to get someone to show me how. Does the flame continue to burn the entire time when parked at an rv park or is it only used when hot water is needed? Thanks for all this useful informtion for us newbies.

That plastic hand nut does not have a seal. The seal takes place between the end of that hose and the tank (inside the hand nut). Your leak isn't the hose, it's the tank.

The seal leak is part of the pigtail, has nothing to do with tank.

My hose connecting into my weed torch produces a small bubble when I add dawn dish soap. Does that mean it’s bad?

As anyone can see, the seal from the tank is bad, not the line. Your just throwing away your $. Most businesses paint the tanks but never replace the seals.

Propane guys in Nebraska say no tape or pipe dope. That's what 'O' rings are for.. I got scolded. :( But they use stuff on the big solid tank lines. (?)

If you look inside the bottle valve(where the plastic piece screws on) you will see an o-ring that seals to the regulator nipple where it screws on the valve. That o-ring gets old and brittle over time and leaks. Hope this helps

@@rusty78609 yes, that’s correct. An error. The hose wasn’t leaking. It was the gasket on the tank itself. The hose head doesn’t have a gasket. When the gasket on the tank goes bad, it leaks just like you show in your video. You can also see the bubbles coming from the plastic nut.

@@rusty78609 if that's the case then what's the problem? All regulators are sealed by the 20 lbs of pressure in the tank. That's why you smell gas when the tank gets empty. Smh
