Propane Regulator Issue?
Was camping yesterday and had to leave early due to an issue with our propane. I kept hearing the heater try to kick on with the clicking sound over and over which told me perhaps the propane was not working. I checked the tanks and one was empty but the regulator had not auto switched to the other tank like it was supposed to. The other tank was off which was probably the reason so I turned it on and manually switched the lever over to the full tank but still no propane. I then switched the tanks to opposite sides and got propane to flow but I smelled gas upon turning on the tank coming from the regulator as far as I could tell. Uncomfortable with having propane leaking, I turned it all off and packed up as it was going to be cold that night and without heat, I would have an unhappy family by morning. I'm thinking the regulator probably went bad. It looks easy enough to replace. My wife wants to have a professional do it so I dont "blow up". Any thoughts as to the issue, what else I need to check or how easy it is to replace? Gonna do some shopping online to see what I'm in for. Appreciate any help.
