Subject:propane on/off valve source
From:Matthias Kuster
Date:Sat, 28 Apr 2007 09:39:11 -0700

Just combed through the archive a bit and couldn't find any info on
replacing the on/off (main) valve. Lots of info on regulator and
overfill valve. Maybe somebody has the answer floating around in
their head?
I still get propane smell inside vehicle, even with t he main valve
off. I think I may also have a propane leak somewhere inside the
fridgerator. Not the lines, I checked those and they are fine AFAIK
with bubbly solution. Fridge is still not working on propane, just
get pilot light, vents heating, but no coolin in reefer.
So since I got a fresh regulator, I also want to empty the tank
(easy, on a breazy cliff...) and swap the main valve. Don't know who
has it, prop fill station who sold me the regulator don't know.
Or maybe I should stop pinching and order a whole new tank incl valve?
I have had this Westy for about 1 year and only driven it in the past
month, I doubt the propane  system was used much in it's lifetime...

So, actually I only need a source for that main valve?

Cheerio
