Hi Larry, I used it a total of once, and it seemed to work fine, but
there is really no way to tell since really niether one has a gauge
(the grill tank seemed a lot lighter when done). It filled VERY
quickly. The hose was pretty pricy, I can't remember how much it was
though.

As for what I would do differently... nothing with the hose, but if i
was replaceing the valve again I would have put a fitting to go the
opposite way if possible (ie: run a gas grille off my westy tank). I'm
not sure where on the tank it would have to go to get the pressure
right.
