When the LPG flows into the 1# tank, how does air get out so the pressure does not increase?

Since the bottle is turned upside down, the LPG flows to the bottom, so air can not enter the bottle. Just a guess.

Empty the 1# tank outside by screwing the schnozzle onto it first, letting any extra pressure escape.

Release all the pressure on your one pound tank by depressing the valve with a key or similar item. This leaves it at atmospheric pressure. Freeze the tank, reducing the amount of pressure to a slight vacuum. When you actually fill it, the larger tank is upside down, so all the air is at the top, only liquid is allowed to reach the valve, therefore, only liquid flows.

I'm not sure,I have not had much luck getting anything into the 1lb bottle.

If you left the gas cartridge engaged (lever down) I wouldn't be surprised. I've found that the piece that actually forces the gas canister forward can bend causing the tank to not fully engage.

You need to pump. There is a lever on the side that you push up and down as you spray. You basically build up pressure in the tank and you pump to maintain that pressure.

More details about the ring, it is a CHOKE. It prevents as much air from being mixed with the fuel as it flows out of the orifice. This is meant to prevent the fairly explosive puff that happens when you first light this heater. I still completely ignore it though. Just turn the fuel valve to max and repeatedly click the igniter (by turning it ALL the way against the spring at the end) until it lights. Keep your face away from the front of the heater when you do.

Yes, gas will not flow unless another fitting is hooked up to it, just like the fitting on the new style tanks. It is not a "check valve" or "one way valve" though, as gas can flow either way.

Not quite sure I understand the question.......the pressure is determined by how much one pumps up the tank as well as how open the nozzle is. If there is an adjustment, I'm not aware of it.

I just filled two of mine up today. I opened them slowly because the seal is so tight not even gas vapor can escape. There was a loud hissing sound when opened as the gasoline vapors escaped. that's how good the seal is. It locks down tight and nothing is getting out.

I'm really not sure what your problem with the picture is. The pole screws into the tank. There arte three taps on the pole. Each have a valve that only opens when you screw a device (hose to a stove, a lantern, etc). The shutoff is the main valve at the tank. There is no individual flow control. Did that help?

You do NOT have the 1# cylinders hooked up while using a 20# cylinder. You wont fill 1# cylinders by having them hooked up.. They could possibly fill with gas vapor but no liquid would transfer as its only vapor coming out of the 20# cylinder.

Well the air exaust port is on the top of the canister and is filtered so it pretty much expells air in a straight colum of air. You really have to be over the vacuum to feel the exaust.

Do you bleed the line before removing the tank? I shut off the tank then press the trigger until no more air comes out. I use a remote coil with a quick connect. Doing this I've never had air seep afterward Hope that helps

your gas tank should be filled after each use so there is no room for condensation or air. This product is to keep gas from souring when left for extended periods of time.Are you sure that condensation is your issue?

It seems that if you overfill the fuel tank, the gas makes it's way into the vent and and then drains thru the hose back into the air cleaner assembly. Not the greatest design, but I drained some fuel from the tank and now the problem is solved.. Thanks for you input anyhow.

It will empty part of the way the gravity feed isnt low enough to empty the entire contents. the fuel gauge is a little off from what I have seen, I have to add about 10 gallons before it will even reach empty.

Pablo, you need to squeeze all of the air out of it without losing any of the water getting out. It' difficult to do but worth it if you get the air out.

Not at all. You don't have to disconnect the tank unless it's somehow fixed in place and can't move. The hook of the gauge slips under the handle of the propane tank and then as you lift it up off of the ground, it uses the weight of the tank to determine how full it is. I use it all the time, and my tank is just off to the side of my smoker so I can just hook it on, lift it up a bit and tell how much gas I have left.

The compressor runs when the psi in the tank falls below your selected level. It will always have air at the pressure you want by kicking itself on while you are using it.
