All else being equal, I'd still say you're out of gas. Open the bleed valve to check -- you should certainly get vigorous gas flow, and probably a tiny squirt of liquid first which has sloshed into the bleed line. If it is empty, you could put in a little and start looking for leaks. The regulator is where I'd look first. david At 13:27 5/7/2000, bcalder wrote: >now I can't get gas at the stove either.
