Does the tank have the 3 sided top valve? Or the round one.

The new and improved, protect the people from themselves 3 sided tanks have
an extra set of valves for tip overs.

Shut off the controls on the grill, shut off the valve on the tank. Wait 10
minutes and then open the tank then the control valves. My brother taught
me about this one when I mistakenly upgraded my grill.

Have you checked to see if the tank is low?

All of you gentlemen have been very helpful. The tank is full and it must
be the OPD unit in the tank. I'll try it today and see if I can get it
working. The grill is a Weber which is about 3 years old. I gave up on the
Sunbeams and CharBroils. The $500 I paid was the best money I've ever
spent.

Thanks again.

Dave

I've had the problem you described when the tank was over-filled. Had a gas
guy tell me just to vent the tank (PLEASE! NOT NEAR AN OPEN FLAME!!!) for
about 15 seconds and then try it again......
