LNG tank valve won't release gas. Help.
7/24/2011 | self

Posted on 07/24/2011 3:23:13 PM PDT by VA Voter

I filled a 20lb LNG tank this afternoon and now with the valve open it won't release the gas. BBQ ruined.

The guy where I got the gas says the valve is stuck or broken closed inside.

Is there anything I can do?

Dust off and nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

“Romancing The Worm” does have a certain ring to it.

take a small screwdriver and open the venting valve on the side to make sure that the tank is full.

If gas vents out, then close the vent gently and run some hot water on the valve for a minute or so, and then re-connect the tank to the grill.

There is nothing in the tank valve that can break, but o-ring seals can get frozen sometimes.

Once you've had worm, it's what you'll yearn!

Reply 41 worked: There should be a bleeder screw on the side of the valve. Open that with a standard screw driver to release the excess pressure in the tank.
