Depending on what year you have. I you have one of the later type stop valves you may need to replace with an earlier type. If it is the shutoff vapor supply valve, I have never seen these in home depot with the correct gas seals in them. This would probably be a gas supplier item and some RV suppliers. That valve is typical on ASME tanks but not on vertical DOT tanks that are on some RV that dealers may specialize in. any major gas supplier that also does maintenance should have them on the shelf. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• jimt Planned insanity is best.
