Title: Diamond Plate Propane Issues
Post by: mcfrankenboo on March 28, 2008, 10:56:58 pm: Ok, I got to Rio Rancho today and the "Propane Inspectors" ??? came around and inspected my new Fat 40 and promptly shut me down, :o :o because not only did every joint in the system leak, but the hose runing from the main tank to the burners was an air hose and not an LP line... You all that own one might want get yours inspected

I thought I liked the flex hose but now I must admit I was wrong if they are leaking. Will now swollow my pride and get it fixed like a buddy of mine said we should do. Good luck to you and your wife this weekend and we will see you in Indio.

I am sorry to hear that, hopefully you have found a way around it for this event. I have forwarded this on to Travis and hopefully he will log on here and post a reply.

Good Luck up there.

Mike

It was only $6 for the hose, and when I showed it to guy he said the same thing that it was a air hose not a LP hose. Hopefully mine was just a mistake by your supplyer.

We are having propane issues though, think where we are buying it has a lot of water or something in the lines. Anyone else having issues with this please let me know. It is in the gas or lines though, we know it is not the smoker. Only having troubles with the assisted lighting of firebox.

Post by: Travis_Creek on April 03, 2008, 04:02:25 pm: We would never use air hose instead of gas hose. We buy it from Mcmaster.com. Part number# 45835K923. This hose is black, if your hose is red, it is from a local hardware store here. They sale propane, heaters, stoves, etc. This hose is red. Please let me know which one it is, so I can investigate.

Thanks,
Travis
