Yes, good point.  I personally had no luck at any of the LP dealers
around here, Charlottesville, VA, finding the autostop fill valve.
That's why I was pointing directly to the manufacturer as probably the
best source for that particular valve.  Any other parts of the system
probably could be purchased at the local LP dealer.

Hope that clarifies what I was trying to say, and I in no way meant to
criticize what you were saying, Stan, with regard to purchasing other
valves and/or regulators.
