turkey fryer

I loaded up my cast iron pot today,need to make some ingots.Got a real low flame,not enough to melt the lead.I took apart the burner cleaned it,no difference in flame.Next I removed the hose and blew air through it with my compresser,nada.Hose is clear.Ok,then I took apart the regulator, and removed the knob that secures it to the tank,blew it out.The air does not go all the way through,does it supposed to? Do I need a new regulator? Opinions?

[Faret]

The regulator is only going to let gas through one way. What probably happened is that the over flow tripped on the valve on the tank. Just need to turn off wait a minute or so and open back up slowly till the pressure builds.

If that does not work, turn the gas off, wait a few minutes and then raise the tank a couple of inches And bump it firmly on the base of the tank on the ground. Then turn the valve on a little slower to light the flame.

After posting,I was thinking..it's like it's not getting air.But then I know the burner is clear.I'll band it on the floor a few times and see what happens.I did take the tank from my camper which I filled last summer.

Stupid question. Is there propane in the tank?

[Taylor]
