Regulator
The regulator controls the flow of gaseous fuel to the appliances. It is mounted by the
vapor valve on the tank. You should inspect it every time the tank is filled.
The regulator has a protective cover. Make sure that the cover is in place and that the
regulator vent is not blocked. The regulator vent should face downward and should be
free of mud, ice, insects, or other debris.
WARNING: Only trained service personnel should install or service LP-Gas
Moisture in the system can cause the regulators to "freeze up" and block the gas flow.
Therefore, it is important that moisture never be allowed to enter the system - even in
minute quantities. If moisture does enter the tank the system must be purged.
Other problems can cause the flow to cease as well. If the 80% valve malfunctions,
overfilling the tank will cause liquid fuel to pass through the regulator. The pressure
will become irregular and the appliances will function improperly or not at all. It can
also cause the regulator and gas lines to become frosty. If any of these conditions exist
have the system serviced immediately.

system to fall into disrepair.
LP-Gas is not corrosive, so you generally don't need to worry about the inside of your
tank and gas lines. However, the exterior of these components should be maintained.
