Weber CS advised to leave the tank valve open all the time and to rely on the Performer valve for shutoff. Since then, never had an issue.
I've got a hose and regulator that are in great shape from a gasser I junked. Can I use this for a conversion? Or is there a problematic difference in the flow rate from one regulator to another?
