Subject:Re: Propane Tank. Shut Off Valve Won't Close?

Ugh.

I think the valve isn't closing all the way. Flame remains lit too long.

Haven't found anyone up here that does propane system repairs but at
minimum, I hope I can find someone to vent remaining fuel from the
tank.

That valve sees likely higher than normal use. BC Ferries, as do other
ferry systems, requires that I close the valve before boarding the
ferry. And, the van has seen a fair amount of camping trips.

Thanks for the help folks.

Neil.
