I have a new Coleman Tailgate grill. The kind that folds sown real easy. Anyway, I got a new tank & used the gas hose that came w/ it & the gas won't come out of the burners. I put a small bottle on their directly & it works fine. So I bought a new hose. Same problem. Then I took the tank back, got a new tank, & same problem. What is the deal. The small bottle works fine. I have replaced 2 hoses & two propane bottles. I'm at a loss.

It comes w/ a hose so you can use a full size tank

That can't be right about small bottles only. Why would they include a long rubber hose for hooking up big bottles?

Yeah, why would they include a hose if you weren't to use it? Examine the hose very carefully. There is an obstruction between the large tank and the burner. Your job, should you accept the challenge, is to find it. Look for anything that looks like a valve. You've opened the valve on the tank, right? (I know, dumb question but . . .) There is a safety device (I think) built into the fitting on the tank so that no gas will be released if the wrong fitting is used, no fitting is used, or the correct one isn't seated completely. Make certain that that the fitting on the hose fits very firmly into the tank fitting and is seated. Don't use lube but give that sucker a very firm push and tighten the nut down firmly. My guess is that this saftey device is not being released.

It sounds like you bought a grill that is for small bottles only, when you buy one like that they will not work with the big bottles because, it lets too much gas out and it has a safety switch on it that works perfectly because if it didn't it would blow you up! Take the grill back and tell them that is not the one you was suppose to have.

It may be that the grill is designed for the small bottle.
