My propane tank on the '80 Westy had a leak on the main shutoff valve.  When
the valve was fully open it had a slow but significant leak.  I took the tank
off, burned off all the fuel using a big burner I use in my pottery work, and
then took the valve apart.  I found a worn/torn seal inside.  I found a local
propane company that sold me a new valve and also noticed that the bleeder
valve was leaking and fixed that.  Point being that "off the shelf" hardware
and fittings from the local propane outfit were suitable for use on the westy
tank.
  Now on to the next little problem...getting the refrigerator to work.
