Jiffy Extreme

[MJBaldwin]

Hello all,

 

i just picked up a jiffy extreme 8”.. used off the hsolist site.. although was never used as they won at an action...   worked great first weekend out even had it in the cab of my truck. Although noticed some smell of propane in the garage the other day and seems to be leaking propane now? Unhooked and could hear the 1 lb wissle (worthington) threw that one away went to screw a new one one (Coleman) and seems to still be leaking maybe from regulator just kept it off to see thoughts

Get the soap out and wet down all the fittings with a new tank on.

Ya if its natural gas, here I thought propane was a liquid that frosts up at leak points..

Well, any escaping pressure will cause bubbles in soapy water-No?

Does it frost up when it comes out of the nozzle in your lantern/heater/BBQ grill?

Liquefied petroleum gas=propane   You are burning the vapors that comes off the liquid.

Better check soon before hell freezes over LP quits boiling at -41F.  

 

The next couple nights a lot of Ex’s should be getting back together too.

I'm going off of  past experience with machines not sealing properly,  lp is dangerously cold and frost would build up at the metallic fitting every time.

The only unit here that uses lp is an old mr heater with a metal male connecting to the tank, and yes if it's not secure it will frost over instantly when not sealed.

Were all well aware of that,  but the post was of an auger sitting idle not burning anything and leaking,  so if ya wanna give it a bubble bath go ahead , I just stated look for frost as sign..

We had the same problem with are jiffy and had to take it in and looked at. After getting it back it has worked good ever since.
