After a few weeks of frustration, the fill valve is repaired, and there is now a full tank of propane. The local propane company did the work. They were able to obtain an o-ring kit (part number V20128) from Manchester Tank for the autostop valve (model 430). I'm passing this information on in case anyone else finds themselves in the same position. A new tank would have cost $289 (plus installation). The repair cost $64 and included the propane.
