Adam and Karl, Thanks for the advice. I found a place called Euro-American RV where a very helpful and knowledgeable guy also told me that the valve is no longer made. He did, however, have a $13 rebuild kit made up of some o-rings, a screen and some special lubricant that he said might fix my leaking auto stop valve (model 430). I bought the kit, installed it in just a few minutes using the included instructions, and was able to get the tank filled (2.7gal) and we ran the fridge for the past four days on our camping trip. :) Roger |
