I had this same problem on my '82 Westy. I was able to obtain a replacement from a local RV accessory place. The replacement that I fornd does not match up exactly. I had to do a little modification to the copper line and "adjust" the debris guard that is on the bottom. It looks ok and works great. I replaced mine about 3 years ago and the cost, if I remember right, was around $70.00 or so. "Once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right." Paul M. Impellizzeri 1982 Westy (on the road to recovery) pmi@bluegrass.net Louisville, KY There is/was a small stream of propane leaking from a small square hole on the propane pressure regulator on our 82 westy the last time I had the propane tank filled. This being the first time we have had the tank filled since we bought the van and not knowing whether this was simply overfill or a problem, we bled the tank in the name of safety. Looking through the archives it appears as if this is an indication of a faulty pressure regulator. The archives from 94-95 discuss a problem getting a replacement however there was some recent discussion concerning this problem for which I could not find a conclusion. Any and all advice about the best way to solve this problem is greatly appreciated. Thanks folks, David Higginbotham Raleigh, NC 82 Westy [text/html]
