Thanks Jim.

I'll double check that its not just an issue of residual fuel in the lines
"fooling me" but I don't think it is. Can't see why a valve like that in
such a crucial application, would fail in 10 years. But maybe that's not
unusual.

If it won't shut off, you need to replace it as soon as you can.
