I just picked up a skyline series 3200 for 35 bucks on criagslist and supposedly fully works. Looks great so far. Issue is the regulator connection to the propane tank appears to be a different connector than I'm use to. I took it off a propane tank but it was like a quick disconnect. Here is a photo of it:

I think I'll need to buy a new regulator hose unless I can switch out the connector part on that regulator. My old grill has the screen on type I've always seen. It looks like they are threaded into the regulator but using a wrench i didn't get it to budge so not sure that is the best way to go here. Any suggestions?


Also a few photos of the grill itself:

That’s the old style quick connect used back in the 90s or before. You won't find any tanks because those were used prior to the new safety regulations that only allow an 80% fill to prevent vapors from escaping due to expansion from heat so no one is allowed to refill the old tanks. Your best bet is to get a new regulator and hose and install it at the manifold. Your old regulator and hose is at least 10-15 years old and is probably on its last legs anyway.
 
Alrighty, I can't seem to of course disconnect the hose. Here is a picture of what it looks like under:

I've tried some WD40 on it, and each time the hose just turns but the screwed in part doesn't. Am I doing this wrong?

Also for a replacement, do you have any recommendation on a specific replacement? From what I've ready a Genesis 3000 replacement hose should work too?
