Co2 poisoning?

Brass style regulators only, no more shiney metal types.

Yeah and I always soap mine. Just habit from the trades. Cause if there is a leak it will ice up. I pretty sure that was the cause. A slight leak and boom solenoid freezes open and different expansion rates with less forgiving steel equal cracked threads and a bigger leak. On that note I think most are but always a good idea to make sure a solenoid is "normally closed" so if it fails it fails closed. In your cause I think it froze open and no so much failed.

Your not understanding. The threaded bolt part on the reg itself that secures the reg to the bottle thread, split and fell apart.

No I get it... I just thought it was a result. As thise threads are not tapered so there is no real pressure on them other than tensile pressure which i never seen split the coupling thread. The seal is the beveled brass tube inside not the threads. If this leaks it will freeze. I guess if it was way over tightened it could crack or just poorly made and the tolerance was out. It's basically a glorified compression fitting.

Single stage regulator? End of tank dump?

It was the end of my propane tank and I’m using a sentinel icg30

So I went fully vented last night through dark period and have been vented all day.
llants are almost 100 percent again.So I can’t be certain what the exact process was but I can tell you it was 100 percent related to the burnerfiring through all of my propane.
Here or some photos of yesterday when I found the issue and today after being vented for 18 hours

first two are when I found them last three are just now with fresh air.

What are everybody’s favorite or best regulators if I’m gonna be switching over to bottled gas. I’ll be controlling it via trolmaster

So some regulators single stage i can't tell which that is. But also oil can build up and wreck the rubber seal as petroleum will eat rubber. Know this from my time in the railway as any lubricant for runner is petroleum free or should be.

Oil can build up in the lines and repeatedly ruin your regulator. I managed to find an example here.

Learned something new today about propane.

I've had problems with my outdoor barbeque regulator going bad. I'm on my third regulator in a year and a half but Blue Rhino has been good enough to replace them free with free shipping. The regulator fills with oil which is corrosive to diaphrams used in propane regulators. I've talked with...

If its a single stage regulator you can have end of tank dump less likely with propane. See the difference here. Click on pressure reducing regulator first expandable tab. It explains the difference and how end of tank dump occurs and the difference from single stage and dual stage regulators. Dual stage are usually quite a bit more.
