Subject:      Auto Fill on Propane Tank Goes "clank clank clank"?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1


..... and the wheels go 'round and 'round. <grin>


Hi all.


I'm just about certain it's not an issue but...


I had a new LP tank installed. Old tank was a manual fill. Hadn't
heard this before.


New tank filled to 2/3. Some fuel has been used by fridge over last
few days. Tonight, when I stepping out of my Westy, I heard this
"clank clank clank etc." sound. If I rock my Westy, I hear it. I'm
assuming it's the float on the autofill mechanism.


Could that be the cause of the noise? Is this normal? Say when tank 1/2 full?


Anyone else heard this noise?


I assume tank still has some air in it (new tank). Maybe this causes
float to "clank"?




Thanks!


Neil.
