OK grando propano specialisto,

-First thanks!

-Second, How the hell do I now if the safety system (cut off valve when the
flame goes out) works?

-Third, is that normal that the big round outlet (metal breeder outside the
van) becomes hot, not very hot but hot with a very small propane scent?

-What can I do or check without removing the fridge?

-Should I remove the fridge anyway for my safety, I don't want to be in my
local paper news section of this week. VANAGON OWNER BLOWN TO PIECES ALL
OVER THE CITY...

If I hear you right (many p-mail) I should get the fridge out to clean this
one even if it works. I am quite tired of working on that van, especially
for nothing - removing the fridge for nothing as the back section looks
pretty clean)

Is there a web site somewhere with pictures of the full procedure of I have
to do one my self!!!

Or the hell with that, I don't like the idea of disturbing those old
propane connection / connector.

The fridge did some ice in 2 hours on propane mode, I think it's good
enough.

I have seen a few good picture of the back of the fridge and I wonder what
can I do more if it's working fine.

Regards amigo, Ben
