I filled a 20lb LNG tank this afternoon and now with the valve open it won't release the gas. BBQ ruined.
The guy where I got the gas says the valve is stuck or broken closed inside.
Is there anything I can do?
I have been known to have campfires that were extremely difficult to put out.
Fire pit ring rocks aren’t supposed to shatter either.
*shrugs*
I’m talented.
I have the same “issues” with electricity.
[don’t ask...I wouldn’t believe the stories either if they weren’t happening to me]...LOL
Nice to see you obviously survived the weekend...:)
p.s...Have you ever considered that you are being ‘played with’ by impish elemental Salamanders or Djinns?
Fire *is* their ‘weapon of choice’, you know.
;D
“mentally you cannot break what is already broken.”
I’m stealing that as a future tagline, ya know....;D
[So, if you’re a Djinn, that makes you my Master. *Kewl*. What do we destroy next, O, Mighty One?]
LOL, I do ‘officially’ deny being one.
[I do have to keep up ‘normal human appearances’ at least while at work.]
Steal away!
Suddenly, I find you incredibly *fascinating*.

If the shaft isn't turning (but the handle is), remove the screw in the top of the handle and remove the handle. Either the handle, the top of the shaft, or both will likely show evidence of being rounded off.
(The valve, or at least the handle will have to be replaced if this is the case. It may be cheaper to replace the tank and all).
All is not lost, however, the gas can be used.
With the tank connected to the regulator hose (cause you don't really want to dump all that gas to atmosphere--that could be a problem), use a pair of vice-grips clamped on the shaft of the valve to turn the shaft and open the valve. (lefty loosey) Use the vice grips to close the valve (righty tighty) when you are done.
Lather, rinse, repeat until you have used the contents of the tank.
“cause you don’t really want to dump all that gas to atmosphere—that could be a problem”
Gunner’d do it...and have a party to celebrate doing it...:)
LOL!
I think I’m rather boring, especially in person.
Then, too, you don't want to be the monkey trying to put the cork back in, if you catch my drift..
Shirley, you jest...;D

That’s just Djinndigestion.
LOL!
All good reasons that I’m glad I live in the boonies.
So far, nobody’s ever questioned the random, sporadic conflagrations that occur in my back yard.
[I was cooking steaks over the fire pit...yeah...that’s the ticket]
;D
During one *actual* cookout, I had the fire pit raging and drove 6’ wooden poles into the ground on either side and put life-size ceramic human skulls atop them.
I could see the neighbors peeping frequently and worriedly out of their windows for *hours*.
The roaring flames caused such a lovely interplay of light and shadow across the skulls’ surfaces.
[yes, I am that weird....so what?]
;]
And that’s a hit-and-pun.
:D
