Chavis, you most likely  have the auto stop valve which is stuck and not
worthwhile repairing.   Replace it with a standard fill valve and separate bleed
screw.  The  standard fill valve and bleeder valve can be had at most any good
RV sales with  a Propane parts service.  I have these items in stock if you
can't find  them locally.  See my _Vanagon Items  Forsale_
(http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/sales.htm)  under "Westfalia Camper Parts" listing.  Check the
archives also as this has been covered numerous time in the past.
