Re: [VACList] Tank regulators

["Jim Dunmyer" <jdunmyer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,
 I've only had one fail, and it went pretty much all at once.

You might shut off the tank valves, disconnect the hoses, wait a few
minutes, then reconnect everything. Open the cylinder valves SLOWLY, just
cracking them at first, then opening all the way. (always operate your tank
valves ALL the way open!)

There's an excess flow device in the new OPD valves that can sometimes cause
trouble, the procedure above should reset it if it was tripped.

A new regulator is easy to install and cheap to boot. Around $30.00, more or
less. If you have an old trailer with the original setup, it might have a
switcher and seperate regulator. They're combined into one unit today.
