I would search for this as I’m sure that it’s here somewhere but the limit on # of letters prevents searches on “LP” and “gas” so…
We have just got a house last summer w/ LP gas for cooking and hot water. Problem started today, Was cooking w/ 3 burners and also crancked up the hot watter heater to get enough water for the really big tub. The stove got really low flames after a while. I figured I was out of gas. Shut down the stove and turned down the hot water heater. Later I checked the stove and it was fine.
Went to sleep
Woke up to the hot water heater pilot lite being out. Lit it and noticed low pressure (and on stove). Poured hot (well warm) water onto the LP regulator and got normal pressure back.
Outside temp is about 15F in the day and 5F at night
or
Apx -20C not doing the conversion just estimarting for all of out metric dopers.
My GQ’s are:
Is this normal?
Is my regulator defective (or perhaps water has gotten in there)?
Are there better regulators that prevent this?
Are there heaters to prevent this?
