Are you following the guidance on starting gas flow: "Connect the gas tank and then turn on gas slowly until you hear the gas start to flow, and then turn off for about a minute. Then slowly turn valve back on." Do this with both tanks. Hope you get the heat working soon.
Will try your way when I get to warmer area because its not the same as my owners manual says that did not work.

1. Verify both bottles are full
2. Close both bottles
3. Attach propane pigtails
4. Close manually operated gas valves on range or water heater
5. Turn indicator on the regulator to the bottle closest to it.
6. Slowly open the service valve on the bottle closest to the regulator. This is typically the bottle on the entry door side. Open the valve all the way.

On mine the entry side bottle has a small red looks like a regulator?
and bottle on other side has the regulator with the switch over valve and red or green indicator?

7. Slowly open the service valve on the bottle that is furthest from the regulator until you can hear gas start to flow through. Do not open the valve all the way. Wait 1 minute. (which one is the regulator and never did hear gas flow)
8. Re-close the service valve and then slowly re-open it all the way.
The systemis now ready to operate.

Seems like a lot to do every time you refill bottles plus it did not work for me unless Im doing it wrong??
