Still have 1500 lbs in the tank per the regulator inlet gauge but nothing on the outlet. No response from adjusting the outlet pressure valve. Any ideas? The regulator is part of a mini-torch rig and has no MFG name on it.

Pete is correct about the cost to rebuild. It’s a throw away world. YOU CAN IGNORE REALITY, BUT YOU CANNOT IGNORE THE CONSEQUENCES OF IGNORING REALITY. http://www.lptraplinesupply.com

A new regulator is on order and due in tomorrow. I will pull the gauges to keep as spares and toss the rest in the scrap bin. At least it's a good chunk of brass if I ever need any. Thanks folks.
