I have an "Extended Stay" Kit fitted to my main propane tank. For those who don't know, it's a brass fitting that is added to the plumbing before the regulator. A four foot hose allows a portable propane tank to be hooked up. I have two, 7 1/2 gallon tanks and just keep refilling those while keeping my main tank full. I've done this on all three of the GMC's I've owned. My current 74 Palm Beach sat in storage for ten months. I'm now living in the coach full time but have a new development. When I open the valve on the portable tank, the propane flows and I can use the stovetop, but the next time I try to light the stove, no propane. I closed the valve to the portable tank and opened the on-board tank and I get propane. I turn off the main tank and back to the portable. Story repeats.

What's up? I used this system for a year before storing it and all was well. Can anyone shed some light on this?
