Why is propane not flowing in my RV?
Why is propane not flowing in my RV?
It’s typically a spring-loaded device with a small ball valve inside the gas fittings. If gas is discharged too quickly, as it would be when a catastrophic leak occurs, the spring engages the ball valve to keep from flooding the RV with propane.

What does excess flow valve on propane tank do?
It’s a safety feature on propane tanks that is also called a flow limiting device. The excess flow valve is designed to stop or substantially reduce the flow of propane gas if there is a leak somewhere in the RV propane system.
What happens if you have a gas valve leak?
Even valves that are labeled “bubble-tight” or “zero leakage” are not always 100% leak-free. A gas valve leak can emit natural gas or propane into the air and pose safety and environmental threats. A leak could even remain within your piping system and cause a hazard to your fire feature and gas lines/connections.
What does it mean when propane valve is open but no gas comes out?

Why do I have problems with my fuel line?
Ethanol gas causes more fuel line problems but using ethanol-free gas is not a guarantee you won’t have problems. New hoses have an impermeable liner to keep ethanol from degrading the other hose material. That liner can delaminate from the outer hose and cause blockages.
