Subject:propane filling problem
From:Lee Kouns

Hi everyone,
We just bought our second Westy (87), but are having a problem filling
the propane tank. After filling it to 1.5 gallons, we found propane
venting through a little hole in the bottom of the port for filling our
tank. My guess is that the auto-stop mechanism was not working
correctly.  A similar venting has sometimes occurred on our 88. I
welcome your thoughts on the cause of the problem, as well as how to
prevent it in the future, and how to stop the venting once it begins.
Thanks in advance!
Lee Kouns
87 & 88 Westys
