Auto changeover propane regulator?

[Mathew Zelezen]

Hey dual tankers,
What auto changeover regulator are you using?

I tried searching but many of the links are now dead.
I know Foland Sales carries a few but I'm not sure which style works with our setups.

Tanks!

None at all, I just have mine plumbed together.

Thanks Californio,
Is there any safety reason not to use the auto changeover? Or is it just overkill?

When I had my setup I tied the two propane tanks together after their individual regulators. I'd only open one tank, use it until empty, then close it and open the second tank. The next time I was near a filling station I'd get the first tank refilled. Since I was using a propex I never had to worry about running out of propane when camping.

I'm in exactly the same situation as dobryan and use the same practice with my Propex. In 10 years, I've never had the need to separate one tank from the other except by turning one off and leaving the other on.

So, spend the money on something else. My two cents.

[Mathew Zelezen]

Sage advice.

Looks like I'll be T'ing them then.

Thanks all!
