Re: Draining lp tanks-(Please read entire thread for safety
haha, you guys kill me!!!
Johnney, in the fitting that screws to the tank is a spring check safety fitting that in the event of too much gas flow will spring closed and block the flow of gas. this would be used in the event a hose broke or got cut.
if you open the valve too quickly you will hear a click or a snap. that is the sound of the ball closing off. to prevent this from happening simply open the main valve slowly. once the valve is open a couple turns open it the rest of the way normally. the same goes for opening the valve on the handle of the weed burner.

Have DC pour water into a big funnel and video it then have mac do the same and they will go opposite directions.

Re: Draining lp tanks-(Please read entire thread for safety
Well now,,,,, if I make it to smoker builder HQ saterday I will be a witness to the pour factor and which way it spins. LOL We may have to use beer though.
LMAO thinking of the past.
My Aunt calls and says the shi**er is plugged. It will only flush of the plunger is laying in the bowl.
So
I tell her that the vent stack must be plugged and not letting the correct amount of air to siphon.
So
I figure the best way to clear the blockage is to take the leaf blowwer to the roof and blow the clog down the drain.
Yup it blew alright.
THen
I hear her scream. The toliet water is hitting the ceiling.
I Guess
There must have been less Resistance at the toliet on the second floor.
Just saying.!!!

Re: Draining lp tanks-(Please read entire thread for safety

first that avatar and then this story ...
STOP - you're killing me ...

Tom I have this mental image of you dropping a small outboard motor down in the tank to help it flush better - pull start and all.
"When you finish your business just reach over your shoulder and pull the rope..."
REALLY! you guys are too much...

And on the eighth day God created barbecue …. because he DOES love us and he wants us to be happy.
