Had that happen once. Pressure was so low the furnace wouldn't work. If I never see that cold again it will be fine with me.

I thought it happened to me. But was only -25F, I would only get a small puff of flame in the furnace. The tank was showing 60%. I decided to run the kitchen stove for a bit, but again only got a small puff of flame from it also. I tried it a number of times then left the burners on with the igniter snapping away. After 5 to 10 minutes they lit up and stayed on, I reset the furnace and it started and ran fine. I shut the stove off and the furnace ran until the house was up to temp. When the furnace tried to restart it was the same small puff I started the stove again,then the furnace. I had to leave one burner of the store set to low and burning to keep the furnace running as it should. Did I mention this was at 2:00 am

I called the LP company as soon as they opened, After I told them what happened, they replaced both of the 2 year old regulators.

Ya Gordy. That was a different problem. Your regulators were froze up. If you warmed the regulators they would work. Warm water , hair dryer or what ever. Once warm they will work. But May freeze again, and maybe not. Moisture in your tanks is what causes that.

Every time the tank is filled, your trapping a little air between the tank valve and the connecting filler hose.
Propane vapor is heavier than air. So it’s always with the propane vapour at the top of the tank.

So the regulator can freeze internally from moisture or externally from moisture. Freezing rain normally externally. Was the regulator covered. If outside to the weather it should be covered to keep the vent from freezing over. Some regulators have two vents. Some only one. Vents must be facing downward.
