Why is my refrigerator hard to start on LP gas?
FAQMost Rv refrigerators have a button you push down when starting the refrigerator (lighting the pilot flame) on LP Gas. After the pilot ignites you need to keep holding the button down. Above the pilot is a device known as a thermocouple. It slowly heats up from the pilot light and once it reaches temperature it gives off a small electric current that allows gas to continue flowing.
Related QuestionsCan I tow with my refrigerator running on LP gas?
FAQThis is a disputed issue. I have seen./heard opinions on both side of the fence. With that said, I don't do it! I feel the three-way (gas/110v electric/12v electric) refrigerators used on most pop-ups aren't designed to be used on propane while towing. Most manufacturers recommend towing these on the 12 volt setting. Two-way (gas/110v electric) refrigerators are a totally different. By design, they are meant to be used on propane while towing.

FAQYes, to convert from natural gas, NG, to LP, you must use vermiculite rather than sand and add an LP safety pilot.

We recommend contacting your local Hearth Technologies dealer to do the conversion for you. To change from LP to NG, you must change the pan orifice.
Related QuestionsMy LP gas grill won't get hotter than 250 to 300 F, even with all burners on high. Why?
Welcome to Weber.comSince 1995 all regulators (the part that attaches to the gas tank to regulate the flow of gas) have included a safety device that restricts the flow of gas in the event of a gas leak. This safety device can be inadvertently activated in two ways, putting the grill into what is commonly called "bypass". The first way for the device to be activated is to leave one or more burner control knobs in the "ON" position when the LP cylinder valve is opened.

Related QuestionsShould I buy an LP Gas Tank Gauge?
FAQIn your tank there will be liquid on the bottom and pressurized gas on the top. As you use the gas more liquid turns to gas until the liquid is depleted. When this happens, the tank pressure drops off quickly. For this reason, pressure gauges are usually inaccurate. Other types of LP gas tank "gages" include a long narrow strip that is attached to the side of the tank (magnetic or glue).
Related QuestionsIs there a need to have a second LP Gas Tank?
FAQI do believe in having a second tank around. During summer months I keep a full one in the garage to swap out when the one on the pop-up gets low. During the winter I carry the second tank while camping because it can get mighty cold if you run out of gas and it's 40 outside. It is possible to get an automatic changeover regulator which will switch to a second tank when the first one is empty.
