Propane System Issue

[pattypape]

Hi Dave,

I am mostly familiar with our 88 FC, But some of the electrical
drawings that I have do refer to a PT. As you probably already know
Propane is dangerous and can explode and kill. And your tank is full.
So if you want to continue, Check that the master shut off and the
electronic master switches are turned ON.

I have one, two stage pressure regulator, some BB's have more than
one regulator, so check the propane at all appliances, such as:
stove, all heaters and refrig etc. If all propane is shut off ,
again check the main manual shut off valve. Rotate it again ON/OFF/On.

If still no propane, I would then suspect the auto propane detector
shut down. It should have a test button, with a light and an alarm.
Find the shut off solenoid. It is easy to hear and feel the magnetic
solenoid activate when the power is applied to the propane detector.
If you decide that the auto shut off is defective.
You could try to apply 12volt DC directly to the terminals of the
solenoid. This is not a good practice, but for a momentary test,
this may isolate your problem. The solenoid needs 12 volts to open,
then the circuit drops this voltage to about 4 to 8 volt to hold it
open, So again it is not a good idea to keep 12 volts on the
solenoid for a longer period of time.
