can not get gas grill to light

I can not get my gas grill to light.

This is what I have tried.

  1. Tank is full

  1. Ignitor is sparking

  2. Have even tried putting burning paper next to burner

What else can I check ?

The fact that 3 failed, makes be believe you have a leak somewhere. With the grill turned "on", can you hear and smell gas?

Look for spider webs etc in the venturi

OPD. Tank is how full? There is an overfill protection valve in the tank that shuts it off under certain circumstances such as a broken valve. When you put on a full tank it sometimes activates. '

Let it sit. Turn off the gas, turn off the tank. After a minute, slowly open the tank valve, then open the burner valves and try lighting it. Once the tank level comes down a bit you won't have the problem.

Thank you government for protecting you from yourself.

You are assuming facts not in evidence (lawyer talk), he didn't say he had the gas turned on.

I was thinking the same thing. Could be the dirt dobbers or some other vermin clogging up the pipes that are open to the air.

That is assuming that gas is in the tank, it is valved on and all the other minor things that is often operator error.

+1. On my previous grill, I had to fabricate screen covers for the venturis. Before that, very ambitious spiders would completely clog the air intakes.

Is the fuel pressure regulator working?
