You can buy a rebuiuld kit for the autostop.  Its about $10 easy to fix
and realy works.  Search the archives for contact info on the company that
sells it. I think its the same company that sells the water outlet parts
but i can't remember the name right now.

It looks as if the autostop valve could be replaced with a standard valve and a bleeder valve could be added to where the curved tube goes into the tank. Anybody done anything like this?
