My Mr Heater Buddy heater 4000 to 9000 btu unit work fine with 1 lb propane tank but when I connect it to my 20 lb tank with hose it will not stay lit. Acts like there is not enough gas pressure. My 20 lb tank weighs 22 lbs right now. With a tare weight of 17 lbs means there is still 5 lbs in the tank. Shouldnt that be plenty of pressure ? 5 lbs should be 5 times a one pound tank ? I spent several minutes purging the line. What could be wrong ? Greg

It could be down to the draw off the tank pipe too small or reg is not for a 20lb tank , going to lock out check reg pressure should say on the side , or take hoes and reg off tank , put it back on and turn gas on slowly see if this helps
