Oh well. Think I'll keep my current o-rings.An equal amount of gold is cheaper. What I will do is disassemblel the valve and lubricate the parts. Anybody know what is the proper lubricant?
Sorry to say this is a waste of time. BTDT. That auto stop valve is JUNK ! And will stop working again just when you need to fill your tank ! Use a standard fill valve. No more problems !
