When disconnected after use will the propane leak from the hoses?

Closing the shut off valve on top of the supply tank first, is the best and safest way to stop gases from discharging.

The small amount of propane in the hose when you disconnect it will escape. There will be no propane left in the hose.

I discovered that it's best to close the tank valve and leave the grill on so the gas in the line will mostly burn out. Otherwise when you disconnect there is 12' of LP in the line that will spray out.

Depends on weather where you leave. It does not cover the connection to the hose outside the box. I just disconnect that for freezes and leave the box as is. It simple to reconnect.

Place a zip tie around the hose and the connector and tighten it down to stop the leaks. Be sure the hose is all the way on before using the zip tie.

This has happened to me also. The adapter hose you have is clogged. It may have received some dirt before/during assembly or your 20 lb gas tank has dirty gas. The hose will slowly fill allowing just enough gas to start, then it goes out. You have two options: 1) Find a propane dealer that can blow out the hose adapter for you: or 2) Buy a new hose from a sporting goods store or Wal-Mart. I took option 2.

I'm sorry deland I don't know the answer to that. I bought it thinking that the thermal coupling was the problem, only to discover my propane gas tank had the issue. Therefore, I still haven't used it.

The female side of the quick disconnect has a manual shut off valve , and auto shuts off when disconnected from line. the auto shut off operates much like a valve on a tire stem. The male side would be conntected to the appliance you intend to use the female side should connect to propane feed line side.

I have never run it all day. Usually in the evenings when i get home and maybe 3-4 hours if needed. The tank lasts several weeks on low-med. but make sure you turn the propane tank OFF when your not using it. I have 2 units and the one leaks ever so slightly at the connection. So i just turn it off. I am going to see if i can get a new hose connection for it cause it shouldn't be like that.

Not in my experience. After connecting the hose, it leaked where it was clamped on both ends of the hose.

On mine, once the hose is disconnected from the quick-connect, gas does not flow. However, I still shutoff the gas at the source after I've disconnected - I wouldn't trust the quick-connect long-term. The nice thing about the quick-connect is that I don't have to be in a hurry to shut off the gas valve, and can get to it a few minutes later.

A slight smell when you first light the heater is normal. After that you should not smell propane. Check your connections again. The most likely place for a leak is at the tank and the tank should be outside not inside.(if using the large bulk tank). If your tank is inside that's not really safe. If using the remote tank check the end of the hose fitting that goes inside the tank valve. The should be an O Ring on the end of it. The O Ring will go bad and dry rot over time. You can get a replacement at Home Depot, Lowes, hardware store etc. Take the hose with you to get the right size. If this does not fix your problem I would return the heater for a replacement. If you can't return it call Mr. Heater at the number on this trouble shooting link. http://www.mrheater.com/troubleshooting.aspx?id=25 Let me know how it goes. Dan

Yes. The pan has holes in it that will drain the water. It runs down onto the propane tank but that's not a big deal. It eventually goes out the bottom of the unit.

Your propane tank should have a steel collar surrounding the shutoff valve on top, to protect it from damage. The burner assembly attaches to the steel collar. Loosen the hold-down nut on the burner assembly clamp until it slides down on the collar of the tank. Then tighten it firmly and connect hose.

Carb float sticks, so fuel leaks bad... I converted to tri-fuel, no issues on propane. Before I had to take apart the carb each time and fix the float.

No, the pressure washer must be off and the water hose and spray hose disconected.It is used for storing and keeping the seals plyable as well as preventing freezing.

Yes it does with shut off valve. The hose is only 5 feet long so depending on where you are puting your propane tank you may need an additional hose.

No! a fire hazard. Especially when they run out of fuel. A large yellow flame comes out when they run out of propane. Do Not use unattended.

Yes you would need a hose to connect the propane tank. I use a hose with 5 # & 10# tanks.
