    Gas stove- gas tank full-flame gets smaller
    We have a hotpoint gas stove it's about 5 years old. On the burners, when you turn it anywhere but high, it turns almorst off, it seems like the gas is running out but the tank is full. Help! We've cleaned the jets with no help there, does anyone else have this problem or know a solution?

    It has to do with the tank regulator being not set high enough to properly run your stove. Try calling up the propane provider and asking if they are the ones who can properly calibrate your regulator. They have the proper instruments to measure the pressure coming off the propane tank so don't try to do this adjustment yourself. Propane is nothing to "tinker" around with. The provider usually "owns" the regulator as well as the tank so it is essentially their equipment and they are supposed to service their own equipment.
