You don't tend to get more then a couple of tanks refills out of the
rebuild valve so I would by a few kits. . .  Also CLEEN the brass well
and use silicone grease to keep the new "o" rings from drying out. The
people at Manchester I found were less then helpful other then to
quickly point out they didn't design the autostop 530 valve.

Hello, I have found out that repair kits are avaliable for the auto
stop valve.Cant cost much, or include many parts ,as there are about 3
parts to the valve in the first place. It includes o-rings and
lubricant and maybe a  warning sticker or two.Hope you never have your
valve get stuck open when filling.If it does, dont ditch the valve ,
but fix it(much to the dismay to the propane propriater).The company
that manufactures them is called Manchester Tank .They are in Brentwood
Tenn.1-800-640-6327. I called them and found out that they have the kit
for the auto stop valve #530. This is the brass valve. If your valve is
aluminium, you have the auto stop valve #430.Dont know if they have a
kit for this valve, but the lady who answered the phone said that they
dont recomend fixing the aluminum valve.The part number for the kit is
# V 20128.They do not retail these kits, and say that I must go to a
chain type LP retailer ,or RV shop and have them order for me. I dont
know if this is
  common knowlege or not,.Just thought I would post it as tank filling
season is upon us.I could not find "auto stop" listed in the archives.
