Sorry, I`m not talking about a tractor...Even though, I remember Grandpa having a WD45 that ran off propane. Got to drive it some when I was a young lad, hand clutch on the right ta boot.
Anyway, we`re having a "hic-cup" with our house lp gas. I "think" that I did "diagnose" our problem being the regulator. It`s a Fisher Governor brand, so I`m guessing its pretty old. We had another gas line put in & it just says Fisher...being about 10 years old.
The line in question has our water heater, a little space heater & the stove. The past 2 nights its been high teens, low 20`s. Last night at midnight I went to use the stove and the pressure was low. The pilot light on the water heater also went out. Woke the wife up worrying that we may have a gas leak, uncovered vents and put the nose to them, did not smell any gas. So next step in my mind, was find something to tap on the regulator and my wife watched the flame while I tapped. She said there was changes in flame height, therefore I really think it is the regulator. Every thing has been fine so far today, with the temp being high 30's. I don't want this happening again.
Wondering if you good folks think that my diagnoses is correct and that the regulator had just stuck. My wife pointed out where we have another regulator that I can swope out with. If you do think I should do this, when I took the one to swope with off the old line it had putty on the threads. Will thread tape work as well, because that is what I have on hand. Thank you for any and all input once again.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
