Why does the flame on my gas grill go out ?

Question

My gas grill tank is full, but the flame is very low and won't stay lit. I can't figure out the problem - any suggestions ?

Answer 1

Your pressure regulator is bad. you can buy this part at lowes, home depot or most hard ware stores

Answer 2

There is a safety device in the connector that screws into the LPG tank that shuts off the flow of gas.

Turn off the tank valve, and ALL the gas valves on the BBQ.

Turn back on the tank valve. Wait a couple seconds so that the pressure in the system regulates itself. (ten seconds or so)

Turn on one burner, and light it.


If that doesn't work, look for spider webs in the burner tubes.

Answer 3

The connection is bad. It's either in the regulator which is what connects to the tank, the hose or the burner. Try replacing each part, starting at the cheapest (it'll depend on your area). Either that or you can get a kit that contains all three pieces available at walmart or at home depot or something.

Answer 4

My grill does the same thing. Before I lite it I turn the valve on then a shake the tank up. Then try to lite it. Sometimes it take me a few tryes. Happy grilling

Answer 5

make sure the propane tanks knob is turned all the way on or else it is leaking gas and the grill is not getting enough to keep it lit

Answer 6

try taking out the burner assembly and clean thouroughly inside & out.

Answer 7

You should have some one who knows what they are doing look at it..

Answer 8

bad regulator or dirty burners.. clean burners, if doesnt work, replace regulator.
