I have a strong feeling that my Genesis Silver B is leaking propane. Not sure how or where.
I've been using this grill for 6 years now, in all sorts of weather. My grilling habits have not really changed. Yet starting last fall (4 'tanks' ago), I seemed to run out of propane much faster than usual. I didn't keep a log or anything, but it seemed like the tanks were only lasting half as long. This is with 2 different tanks, filled up at the place I've always gone to. I know sometimes they don't top them off all the way, but like I said, I'm seeing around a 50% difference in the time it takes to go through a tank.
After grilling I am always sure to close the valve all the way. And as I mentioned, I rotate between two tanks, and I doubt that both tanks would suddenly have leaky valves. I tried the soap bubble trick on everything between the tank and the grill knobs. No bubbles.
So I am stumped.
Anyone have any thoughts or insights?
