You should always open the valve all the way on an LP tank. *They are designed with a "back-seat", which seals the valve stem when openend. If you partially open it, gas can leak from the stem. Wow, I did not know that.. I never seat anything unless I need to. -- Rowdy Mouse Racing - Pain is temporary, Glory is forever! Reply: TOTALLY WRONG!!!! *Crack the valve about 1/4 turn. *Same with all flammable gas cylinders. *O2, Argon etc. that are high pressure and inert have back seals. *You want to be able to turn the tank off quickly if there is a leak or fire. *Take any welding class and you will learn about gas safety.. Propane is a lot safer than a lot of the flammable gas as it is a liquid under pressure and therefore is at a lot lower pressure in the tank. Acetylene is a higher pressure in the tank but is in solution in acetone (I think that is the liquid) as acetylene will self ignite explosively at a fairly low pressure. *From the Weber website: Cart Based Models * Close the LP tank valve * Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position * Open the grill lid * Turn the LP tank valve until it is completely open * Wait several seconds * Turn the front burner to the HI/Start position * Press the igniter until the burner is lit. * Turn remaining burners to High * Close the lid. * The grill should preheat to 500-550 degrees in 10-15 minutes As you point out, LP is not the same as acetylene. Those are the instructions on how to resolve a particular problem, not the directions for S.O.P. Do what you want. |
