I have a Fiesta 345 Advantis bbq and hoping you guys can help. Everytime i
open up the gas to start it, they tell you to wait 5 seconds, and turn the
burner on high, then ignite it............. My problem is 9 out of 10 times
the gas flows for 2 seconds and shuts off, i go through the 5 minute wait
period and the same thing, then for no reason it will flow as it should,
what the heck am i missing, why cant i get it to start first time everytime

Thanks

I had the same problem a couple years ago. There is an adjustment screw on
the propane tank valve. The guy at the gas station who fills the tank
turned the screw with a screwdriver and problem solved. It's also possible
your line is dirty.

Open the valve slowly, so the regulator doesn't get a sudden surge of
gas. Some of them have a safety function where they shut down if
there's a sudden increase in flow...

That is not an adjustment screw. It is a bleed screw used to bleed air out
of new tanks while filling. It must be kept tightly closed except for
filling. There are three things that commonly cause the OP's problem...
Overfill, Air in tank, and as Scarlet Pimpernel suggested, a very sensitive
OPD valve. Your dealer, when he turned the screw, was either bleeding air or
bleeding propane to rectify an overfilled tank.
