I know on some valves, there is a solid seal formed when the center plug is all the way up or all the way down. When it's in between, it relies on only an O-ring to seal and that is not designed to hold back the gas full time, it is intended only for valve operation.
�
Other valves need to be turned all the way in or out---then turned back a quarter turn after the stop.
�
Which style would a propane tank be?

Um, I set my valve to either on or off. What's the point of a partway
setting?
