Hello, I  finally  tried to order a rebuild kit for the auto stop
valve.Manchester  tank, the maker of this kit, wont sell directly, and gave me the number
of a  major rv parts dealer to order it Well , turns out this kit which
contains 2  o-rings costs $29.95.Dosent sound right. Oh well. Think I'll keep my
current  o-rings.An equal amount of gold is cheaper. What I will do is
disassemblel  the valve and lubricate the parts. Anybody know what is the  proper
lubricant?

Sorry to say this is a waste of time.   BTDT.  That auto stop valve is JUNK !
And will stop working again just when  you need to fill your tank !  Use a
standard fill valve.  No more  problems !
