Not enough pressure for a fire

[Corey]

Hi, another question about a HH mine is whenever I go to light it it will light but then there will not be enough pressure for it to stay lit. I have hung the hose to clean the gunk out and taken the top part off and cleaned that. Is it the tank. I just got another full bulk tank and have used it twice and had trouble each time but usually I can get it to stay on with enough pressure. Is it my tank or my HH? Do I take it back and ask for another one? Will I have to pay it is still partially full. Only used twice for probaly one hour each time. I'm getting a little ticked off b/c I'm not getting anything done. Thanks for any comments.

Are you opening tank valve full open....... IF you open torch valve a few turns (with out lighting) do you get aggressive hiss?... Another thing, take hose off tank and look into tank valve, does rubber center piece in tank look damaged?...

Some times the bulbous end of tank connector (hose) does not open the valve assemble in tank enough to get good fuel flow... Could be defective POL connector on hose. Or simply not screwed in tight enough.

Also you can buy just the little round rubber O-ring type thing on the hose end seperatly if it's dried and cracked so needs replacement.
If it's a Mr. Heater hose they will send you one if you call them.
