I would go to an RV service place and get them to put new valves in. The valves are well under $100 for all 3. People with failed AutoStop valves should consider the same thing. It is not that hard or expensive to get new parts to replace the ancient parts. Here is a link to one Web place that sells valves. I suspect there are cheaper places. http://www.dyersonline.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=LP+Gas-LP+Gas+Parts Mark
