I just hooked up a new tank to my grill and when I get really close to the regulator with the tank valve open, I can smell a slight propane smell that seems like it's from the regulator. Not a lot of smell though, slight.

I tried the soapy bubble test on the regulator, all the connections, the hose etc., no bubbles. But I can still smell a little propane if I get close.

Is this normal operation for the regulator? Or do I likely have a leak and / or bad regulator? Thanks

EDIT - now I smell a little propane near the regulator even when the tank is shut off. But still no signs of a leak.

I'll start by saying I've had BFS for over 20 years so I'm not new to it or worried about the bad stuff.

But I got my TDap booster a couple days ago and since then the twitching has gone from an occasional hotspot before with many days twitch-free, to body-wide non-stop hotspots now. Both foot arches/ankles, left hip area, right quad, left pointer finger, both forearms...all at the same time. Hard to sleep.

It's also interesting that the last flu/COVID vaccine I got resulted in 6 months of nonstop eyelid twitching to where I was considering Botox.

I really hope this gets better and I haven't shot myself in the foot...pun intended..

EDIT - now my right tricep has joined in...

I have brand new BF Goodrich Advantage Controls. Mounted five days ago.

Every morning when I take the car out, it's super bumpy and then smooths out after a few miles. No problems with inflation. It doesn't get cold overnight.

Is it normal for new tires to be flat-spotting like that? Or would it indicate something wrong with one of the tires?

I'm having freshly powdercoated wheels mounted today but it's raining like crazy since yesterday. My car has been outside with the wheels off, on jacks, so my wheel hubs are wet. The guys doing the mounting today said that doesn't really matter. I'm not so sure.

Does it matter if they don't dry the wheel hubs off?

How effective is dentistry for fixing speech issues - specifically a high pitched shrill whistling S sound? Is cosmetic dentistry needed for that?

...for time to soften up my opinion - for it to grow on me.

And now I can report...4 months later...

It still looks like an ugly 3/4 size Forester. Still not buying it.

Carry on.

I test drove a Lariat today and was really surprised that there's no seat angle adjustment (like to bring the front of the seat up and down). Even in the highest trim over 40k.

Is there an even higher option that will have this?

EDIT - Just to be clear I'm talking about the seat bottom angle. The angle changes a little as the seat height goes up and down but I'm talking about being able to raise and lower the front of the seat.

For anyone who thinks Ford's "employee pricing" is a good deal, think again.
Ford announced it yesterday like it's some major, exclusive special thing. But the prices of multiple models actually went up because they lost other rebates.
Don't fall for the scam.

Basically what the title says- thanks!

I'm looking at getting a new F150 for the first time ever. Am I understanding it correctly that unless you get a Lariat, or an XLT that has a very specific package, they basically ALL have cloth seats? All the way up to $70,00+ and the seats are cloth? Seriously?

I have small kids and we have ActiveX in our Explorer. I wanted ActiveX again...

EDIT - ok so it's true. Wow. I just can't believe something so expense could have the bare bones seats but you can easily get ActiveX in other models.
