Propane tank won’t fill - SOLVED!


Recommended Posts

Travelling in our ‘87 Mini-Cruiser last summer. Stopped at propane dealer and they couldn’t get the propane to start flowing.  Took it to an RV place and a propane dealer in a larger town. Same problem. Brought it home to my local Ace hardware, which had done the previous fill.  No luck. Made an appointment with an RV repair place.  Their guy said let me try filling before doing anything else. BINGO!  She filled right up.  Turns out the bleed valve on some of the  older propane tanks has to be open 100% before the safety pin in the fill port will move out of the way and let the propane flow.  So posting this in case anyone else has this problem.

Yep there are some early OPDs in Manchester tanks that require a fully open vent.
