Mike:

Set it at exactly 14.86"--per my Propane Factiod webpage.  ;-

Having two connected tanks is such an advantage that I put up
with the hard-starting.  But Bob Stevens and I worked out
the numbers and he got an orifice ream to enlarge the Carver
orifice.  I've been too lazy to remove my P4 to do it.

I say "advantage" for this kind of scenario:  At Buses By the
Bridge I was boiling tea water when I heard the flame die
down.  Looked, decided tank A was about out.  Jumped out and
turned on tank B, turned off tank A--all before the fridge
went out.  That's ADVANTAGE in my book!

[Not to mention knowing a tank is empty and will take exactly
the 2.5 gallons when I go to have it filled.]
