Does anyone have experience with running appliances on propane #offgrid?

I have a propane water heater and a NG dryer converted to run on propane.

Both are not igniting.

Electrical tester indicates no issues.

Propane has been tried with and without pressure regulators.

I've used a 30# and 20# tank, both with fuel in it - and yes the valve is open.

1 Stupid question, is the ignitor making a spark?

Additional question, what temp is it where your tanks are? Too cold and propane can have an issue converting from liquid to gas.

Yes, the ignitor cycles multiple times, and when no flame is sensed, it stops trying. I then turn the water heater off and back on, only for it to continue trying and erroring out again.

Temps were in the 60s today
