Just as an up date to the problem that I was having with a leaking auto stop
fill valve and the tank not accepting a fill.  I installed the o-ring rebuild
kit ($13 with instructions) from Euro-American RV Products (www.deltasix.com)
a few weeks ago, had the tank filled (2.8 gal), and am still leak free and
all seems well.  Hope this helps.
