Default Help with torch flame

Hi
I have a bobcat and the last couple times I've worked the flame is acting funny. Its not the breathing getting higher and lower but the propane seems to go up and down. I'll have a nice flame and then the yellow candles will get longer and then smaller......it will stop for a minute and then do it again.
I'm thinking its my propane...... anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks
sue

Maybe try changing tanks? How full is your tank?
I know some people drain their hose in case it has gunk in it too.

See if anything in this thread will help. This is just one thread I found by clicking on "search" and putting some parameters in to search for threads where issues like this may have already been covered.

Hope it helps.

When I was having problems like that it was my concentrator, the sleeve had a hole in it.

I think she means sieve; it's part of the oxygen concentrator.
