That fixed it. the knurled nut that screws into the L.P. Tank has a flow restrictor for safety. I put a new restrictor and line on , turned the gas on, went inside and lit both burners on the stove they worked perfectly. before they would had lit and then the flames would have shrunk and went out in about 5 to 10 seconds, then you would have to shut off burners and wait. Sometimes this would take 2 hours and was very frustrating. NO MORE LOW GAS FLOW

Many of the earlier pods had a problem with the regulator "pinging" while under high load. That was annoying. Furnace would kick on and you would think you were in The Hunt for Red October.

We had a similar problem. It would take forever to get gas flowing at the stove which was always our first step before turning on appliances. Our dealer replaced the regulator under warranty.

Since day one I have had trouble with running gas appliances. I had to turn the gas on 4 to 6 hours before use and then sometimes the furnace (which we rarely use due to noise) would thump and go out. gas stove burners would run for 1 to 3 minutes and go out. anyway the problem was the factory flow restrictor, you know that green collared thing that screws right into the tank. The factory hose/restrictor valve would only function until the tank got about 1/2 empty then you were done. I replaced the flow restrictor and cured the problem. I replaced the tank, the regulator and of course it was the last thing I replaced. Looking forward to turning on the gas valve and using the equipment right away instead of waiting a half of a day. Come on Mr Spring.
