Subject:Fed up with Auto-fill valve
From:Michael Elliott
Date:Sun, 1 Apr 2007 15:32:29 -0700

Mellow Yellow's auto-fill valve (yep, it's an auto-fill: has the red
reset button on the front side, the knurled bleeder valve thing on the
rear side) often proves to be a hit or miss kind of affair at fill-up
time. My usual LPG station has one guy that has no trouble with it,
another who struggles with it and likes to argue with me about it. Guy's
a pain but he has this creepy resemblance to Charles Manson, so I try
not to rile him. On the road, the roadside filler guys sometimes like
it, sometimes try to get out of dealing with it altogether. So, I'm
thinking that I'd like to replace it with something simple and standard.
And legal in California if that matters. What are the options?
