Hey all,
A month ago was the last time we used our Cyclone. I smelled a good amount of propane on the ODS tank location. (that's opposite door side, right?).
I opened the door, sprayed some soapy water on the regulator and it was bubbling where the ventilation holes are on the regulator. I replaced the regulator.
The propane is flowing and working out of both tanks, stove works, etc.
The furnace was then only coming on, running constantly, but not igniting, so just blowing cold air. I had the DS side propane tank closed and was running everything off the ODS tank.
So I tried closing the ODS tank, diverting the regulator on the DS (with the red/green screen screen on the valve of the regulator), and opened up the DS tank.
Fired up the furnace, and it worked, heat was coming through and everything.
I then went over to the ODS side tank and smelled a lot of propane while the DS tank was open and running the furnace. Sprayed soapy water on it and it was coming out of the same vent area of the new regulator I installed.
I shut the furnace off, but still leaking out of the ODS regulator. So I closed both propane tanks and that of course stops the leak.
Sooo...what gives? Any ideas?
I'm assuming on the DS tank holding area, that black knob I used to divert from one tank to the other does have a regulator behind the white plastic housing, right? If so, do you think that regulator is bad?
Why wouldn't the furnace fire when I had the ODS tank open and the DS closed? (I had the diverter pointed to the correct tank AND the stove inside was working just fine on that tank)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
