Does anyone else have a problem with propane flowing lately? I know it has not been THAT cold but I have one of those small ventless heaters in my permanant house and when it is cold it just will not work properly. Last weekend I had trouble with it all weekend. Today I went out there and it worked fine when the sun was out, but as soon as the sun went under and it got colder I had problems again.
It acts as if it were not getting enough LP. It will light ok but when you go to turn the burner on it is a very low flame and the pilot goes to a very low flame also and the thermocouple thinks that the pilot has gone out because the flame is so low it doesnt hit the sensor and the whole thing shuts down. Very frustrating.
Is the orfice on this heater just too small for the thickened LP or something? Any other sugestions?
