Fixing a Propane Tank That Won't Release Any Propane

I have trouble with this 20 pound propane tank. The Overfill Protection Device (OPD) has a check valve and to much pressure in the tank won't allow it to open. I drain off some of the gases in the tank. Usually 2 - 2.5 minutes is all that is needed of draining propane to get the tank working again. If you do this please make sure there is a nice wind. Propane is heavier than air and will settle in low spots and be a potential explosive hazard. Do not do this indoors or around an open flame of any sort. If you are not comfortable with trying this take it to a professional. If this doesn't fix your problem you may have a bad regulator.
