There are three common reasons that can prevent gas from flowing when you have a GasStop installed:. 1. The most common cause that the GasStop has not been primed. Every time you open the valve on a tank of propane, you must pump the propane level in

Help! Propane is leaking from the tank side of the GasStop

My GasStop works, then shuts off

GasStop valves are designed to shut off the flow of propane whenever there's a large differential between the pressure in gas line, and the pressure in the propane tank. In normal situations, this should not occur unless there's a major leak in the p
