Jumpins. That’s cold. If your running any thing propane, you won’t have much pressure in your tanks.

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.

Gordy

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.

No , not fun at all . We are fortunate here we are rural but still on natural gas due to the fact that the main feed for the neighbouring towns go through our front yard .One of the reasons we bought the place .
