LODFFB Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 How do you guys keep gas going to your heater. It seems like either i dont have good pressure or I'm sucking too much gas off my 20lb tank. I have a garage heater Procom for the wall. If it flames out and you let it sit for a while then it will run agian. Is it simple as to get a bigger tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterbeater Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Sounds like you may be pulling too much gas and the bottle is freezing up. Is it that big of a heater? You may need a bigger bottle if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinG Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Sounds to me like the regulator went bad.Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MnIceman Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I agree with waterbeater . The problem is usually amplified with colder weather. Try a 100 pounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstroke Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Something that is a wall mount that you feel is sufficient enough to heat your garage can not run on a 20lb'er. It might run for a bit, but is flowing at too high a rate and it ends up freezing as the liquid is vaporizing to a gas. You need somethign with a much larger capacity and probably a better regulator.You're pulling too much material out too fast. You're using up too much of the total volume at once. The small tank can't keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LODFFB Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 I have a 28000 procom. It is proably the tank. Thing is it ran fairly well when it was 30 35 degrees. It must make a big differance at 20 degrees or less. I do have a 40lb tank I ran it with when I had it at our old place and it ran good BUT I had it in a box outside the garage not sure if that kept it just warm enough? It even [PoorWordUsage]s out on the low setting after a while I thought it would run on low. It has a Low Med High. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
