Chris, Did the propane leak out only when opening the valve? Mine did it too (sub freezing) and leaked (more than a small hiss) when opening the valve, but didn't leak once the valve was all the way open. Startled me a little, but since my dad has always driven a propane powered van, I'm used to a little propane spewing now and then. Propane valves are designed to be only fully open and not partially open, so I think it can leak if there is some thermal contraction, but should seat once fully open. Or, it could be that I'm driving a time bomb... Keith Adams Calgary, Alberta, Canada 1986 Vanagon GL Westfalia |
