Subject:Westy LP tank two stage regulator
From:Roy Mellor

While working on my Dometic fridge I foung a leak in the two stage
regulator off the LP tank of my '85 Westy.  After a few phone calls and
a trip to a local RV supply place I returned home with a new two stage
regulator.

Old regulator           Part Number 260-00 (discontinued)

New regulator           Part Number 290-00

These are made by Marshall Gas Controls (1-800-877-2495) and I paid
$16.98 for mine.  The new regulator is slightly longer (I'd guess ~1-2")
and shaped more like a figure eight instead of a rectangle.  The product
info sheet sheet says the dimensions are 5 3/4" L, 3 1/8" W, 2 5/8" H.

After I got home I realized I needed a different protective cover for
this.  The old regulator had a two part plastic cover, half of which was
riveted to the tank guard, the other half connected with two screws. I
guess I've got an excuse to go back to the RV parts store now.

Hope this helps someone.
