RE: Valve for green bottle propane?
George is absolutely correct in all points he writes. Can this be done. . .Yes - Do we recommend or support this. . .NO
For the very experienced user, George's procedure works and works consistantly. However, for the lesser experienced or newbee, this procedure can get you into a bad situation. Hot start, very high temp fire with possible damage to the turbine and the jet model. For these reasons, we implement the filter/restrictor unit. This system works perfectly well, (unless contaminated) controls gas and supplies constant pressure to the turbine.
Never bypass or eliminate the gas solenoid valve. Again, this can get you into a nasty situation. cause possible damage to the turbine and may affect your Lifetime Warranty coverage.
For best results, follow Jet Central's manual, installing the system as designed. This insures your success and enjoyment with your jet engine.
Thanks,
