Subject:Fixing propane shutoff valve in '82 Westy?
From:Martin Jagersand
Date:Mon, 30 Mar 1998 22:12:08 -0500

I may have a small leak in my propane valve. When I open or
close it I sometimes feel a "draft" of something cold (evaporating
LPG?). I can't notice anything when it's fully opened or closed.

Used up all the LPG during the last trip so now would be a
good time to check things out and fix what needs to be fixed.

I checked Bentley, but it doesn't deal much with the propane
system other than how to R&R the whole thing.

Anyone replaced the propane valve? Remember what size or type
of replacement valve I need? Can I just change some bushings
to renew it?

Thanks,
Martin
