My 84 Westy has the "so-called" dangerous Auto-Stop Valve. Never a filling problem since I purchased the vehicle in May 1997. And I have an NOS Auto-Stop Valve stashed away in case a problem does develop (and no, it is not for sale).

Auto Stop Valves were intro'd sometime during the 1984 model year. The even safer valve mechanism was intro'd early in the 1989 model year and of course, equipped on all replacement tank assemblies.

Replacement Tank Assemblies are available from Bus Depot @ $289.95, less the list discount, their number 253070601D.
