Open Roads Forum  >  Tech Issues  > 2nd bottle won't discharge any LP after switching Reply to Topic  |  Subscribe  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  billy1davis • View posts usa Senior Member Joined: 02/25/2012 View Profile Offline Posted: 04/12/21 08:48pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I have a 5th wheel with one lp bottle on each side. I have replaced the regulator and the the switch. I have no leaks. The bottle on the curb side works just fine. I have tried switching the different items and all works fine as long as one is using the curb side parts BobsYourUncle • View posts Calgary Alberta Canada Senior Member Joined: 12/12/2003 View Profile Offline Posted: 04/12/21 10:19pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Check to be sure the fitting is adequately tightened onto the bottle. I had one once that wasn't tight enough to actuate the gas flow. I checked to be sure it was clean and free of any dirt, then snugged it up good and it worked fine. They are designed to cut the flow if it does not have a good firm fit. 2007 GMC 3500 dually ext. cab 4X4 LBZ Dmax/Allison 2007 Pacific Coachworks Tango 306RLSS - 32' RV Rebuild Website Site is live, finally launched Aug 22, 2021 @ 6:53 PM . time2roll • View posts Southern California Senior Member Joined: 03/21/2005 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Posted: 04/12/21 10:43pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Turn the valve off for a bit and then open very slowly. Not difficult to open fast and trigger the excess flow shut off. 2001 F150 SuperCrew 2006 Keystone Springdale 249FWBHLS 675w Solar pictures back up YC 1 • View posts Yuba City Calif./ Auburndale Florida Senior Member Joined: 01/11/2005 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 04/13/21 03:57am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Ditto on turning the gas off. Turn a burner on and let it burn down so pressure is off. Turn stove off. Turn valve on tank very slowly. Sounds like the leak protection valve kicked in. Can be a real pain at times.

Wasn’t the auto-switch regulator, wasn’t the pigtail causing the problem. I ended up having to have the tank valve replaced. The LP dealer tech confirmed the problem with his equipment. I don’t know what can go wrong with the OPD valve to make it fail that way, but it did. Fortunately, the valves aren’t expensive, and it counts as a tank recertification as long as they mark the tank accordingly.

That'd narrow the problem down to the tank, at least.
