I want to make sure the hookup to my propane tank was done correctly. It seems that the connection of the regulator to the tank loosened up over time and when the tank valve was cracked open, the propane leaked out. That is my presumption given there was some pressure early in the season and then suddenly it was empty. I also thought I smelled propane at times when I went to open/close the valve. The connection joining the regulator to the tank seemed loose when I took it apart. On my home grill, there is a big plastic knob you tighten to attach to the tank. Here, it just seems to be threaded in with teflon tape. I plan to refill the tank tomorrow, but if anyone has suggestions on any changes I should make to this setup, please let me know. Is teflon tape the right thing to use or is there something like thread compound that would act like loctite? Here is a picture of the current setup: https://photos.app.goo.gl/cHm4Ddo7wY1eFWug6 <https://photos.app.goo.gl/cHm4Ddo7wY1eFWug6>
