Got to have the right valves or no go.<br />Get this, today (5-1) we stopped at a Flying J to get our propane tank filled & the guy filling it (must have been new) didn't know you had to open the valve & purge it & then fill it that way too. Plus he asked me if it had "automatic shut off". Duh! I think so!Peggy & Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11078878370228513676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339751826768560713.post-64969671297750469562010-04-29T13:11:31.373-05:002010-04-29T13:11:31.373-05:00Hey Happy Camper, that isn't just Kansas, that...Hey Happy Camper, that isn't just Kansas, that's everywhere, if your tank doesn't have the new style valve that limits the amount of propane to 80%. so it can't be overfilled, you either have to have a new valve installed or buy a new tank. I went through that a couple years ago with my 96 5th wheel it was one of the last of the old style valve years, and when I tried to refill them in 2005 I had to replace both valves at the propane dealer or no fill, back then it was $30 a valve. Our new trailer which we got in 2006 had the new style from the factory. I guess it is nation wide, but it is for a safety reason. Be safe out there.
