Weird happening with the propane BBQ. We have 2 five gallon tanks..rotate to full when one runs dry, as many probably do. So, ran out of gas last night, switched to the full tank. Obviously filled...much heavier than the empty one. BBQ wouldn't light.

Got out the manual, went through it's checklist, thinking it may have been the auto safety shutoff mentioned in the manual. Went through the manual's restart procedure twice. By then it was dark, decided to deal with it again this morn.

So, this morn, pulled the tank, placed it in a well ventilated area, opened it's valve...and Nothing! First time I've ever seen that...a defective valve on a 5 gallon propane tank...

Any propane experts here? Just curious what could cause this...
