the part that screws into the tank has a safety valve depending on what color it is. you can upsize that or drill it out to disable it. i did the latter and have had no issues. red, black, green.... all rated for different pressures.

quote:

Different colors for the Type 1 Propane connectors are based on the spring tension and flow rate. The light green connectors are rated for 200,000 Btu per hour. The black are rated for 70,000-100,000 Btu per hour. The dark green are rated for 450,000-500,000 Btu per hour. The Red connector is the strongest spring and is often used for high pressure adapters and T-fittings.

Thanks poochie. I think this is the issue. When i buy the regulator i need to pay attention to the BTU rating. I didn't realize flow rates were limited for diff regulators even with the higher 30 psi regulators.
