Iceman12 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Last night I went out to do some grilling and I could not get my propane tank to open up. It was like it was rusted shut or something. I used it 2 weeks ago and it worked fine. Anyone know what the problem could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MNmikew Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Perhaps your turning the valve the wrong way. I had that happen to a bottle I have once. had to use a wrench to get it loose. Not sure why it happened, hasent happened again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Whoaru99 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 The valve is physically stuck?I've had the tanks and couplers with the new-style connections get pressure locked so that no gas would flow until I unhooked and reconnected them, but never had the valve physically stuck.

0 setterguy Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Ask your wife to give it a try. You always were kind of a wussy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 efgh Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Maybe it is already open and all the gas leaked out, try closing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Iceman12 Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 It won't move either way and the valve is completely locked in position. Anyone every have this happen to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 upnorth Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Could be that it is already open and when you tried to open it just jammed the thing tighter open. Might be a stretch, but it could be that you are out of gas too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
