Maybe the handle on the valve is turning, but the insides are not. Also, follow the line back into the house to see if there might be another valve downstream that got shut off. Another possibility is that the female portion of the quick connect is probably steel, and being in the weather, has developed some rust inside and a check ball is hanging up.

Well you guys and gals almost had me hooked on a Virco... That clasic is one awesome looking grill... I couldn't really afford that much, even though that is a good value for that type of grill... The Mark VIII was going to be my choice, due ot it's scaled back price... Even so... in the end I choose a Great Outdoors grill for $300, normaly priced at $400... The MV7 would have cost me $460 or so... pushing the limits of my budget... If I had been able to actuall see a Virco in person I may have stuck with the idea of buying one... I'm surprized they are not selling the Virco grills in places like Lowes, Home Depot, and Menard's yet... They'd probably sell like hot cakes... Anyways... thanks for all you who commented on your grills, it was extreemly helpfull in my quest for finding a quality grill at a good price... Back to your Virco talk now...

Hi, I have a generator which is hooked up to a propane tank, 20,000 Watts Cummins Onan RS 20,000. This has a 4 cylinder Ranger engine made by Ford. The gas line is 3/4 inch and runs from the propane tank. The gas line by code is limited to 100 feet (New York state). And you cannot have an underground join in the gas line. The gas line does not have to be very big because the propane is under presure and when under pressue it is actually a liquid. Right by your generator the gas line will connect to a Regulator. This regulator "converts" or more accurately will allow the propane to expand. The propane then becomes a gas and be at a lower pressue. This gas is then passed into the "propane carbaretor" which you will mount on your genset. So a relatively thin line can feed quite alot of propane because of the liquid to gas transformation. Things to watch out for a Carbon Monoxide poisoning. I would not site the genset near any windwows near a house. Also having a high pressue gas line snaking all over your house could be a fire risk and may not be allowable by code. Note if you bury the propane line, you only have 100 feet to play with and you have to bury it deep. This means expensive. Think a back hoe or some mechanical digger. If you are going to all the troule with the gas line etc., maybe it would be worth it to consider a new genset as well. warmest regards, Mike.

It might be easier to run it in the roof. We did that and then the gas line comes down one of the support posts which was then wrapped in stone and siding. (Assumes the porch is covered and withing your roof structure). You can see the gas line here coming down the post farthest from the camera. This post was wrapped, that's just the structural post there. We had power, RJ45, cat6, and a smurf tube stubbed in the ceiling to mount a TV.
