Propane Question

Propane Question

Postby AlmostThere » Thu May 03, 2012 12:46 pm

This just popped into my head so thought I'd ask. If one lets there propane run out, are there any steps to take like priming the lines etc after refilling? I am thinking not, but want to be forewarned in case.

I usually just keep trying to light the stove burner till the gas comes through the lines, that way I know when the fridge goes to gas (I keep it on auto)it will have the gas in the lines and not flash that there is a problem.

Any time I have the gas turned off for a while, I will do like Vickie and turn on the stove and try to light it to get all the air out of the lines. this works really well because my refrigerator is before my stove so I know once the stove lights, I won't have a very hard time igniting the refrigerator.

I ran out of propane several times in the four years I stayed in my rv, I did like everyone else says, turned on a burner on the stove and light it.
Never had an issue with the furnace or the fridge getting them to light which was all automatic.
