Today I tested the furnace in our coach. Haven't used it in over a year. It's a Suburban set on the angle with the two vertical holes to the outside. It has worked just fine before.
I opened the propane gas tank main valve, and upped the thermostat. Blower came on and in a few seconds, I had heat.
I shut the t-stat off, and the furnace stopped. It wasn't on long enough to keep the blower running after shut down.
I THEN shut off the valve on the propane tank.
A few minutes later as I was walking by the driver's side of the coach, I noticed a propane odor (I know, propane doesn't smell). I sniffed by the two holes in the coach side, and that's where it was coming from. The odor continued for about 10 minutes. Again the main tank valve was off. There was no odor in the coach.
So, do I have a leaking furnace gas valve? Can it be repaired? can I replace it? Or what??
Opinions?
Thanks,
John
