Robert,

I had the same issue just recently.  Any RV store should have a
replacement valve (just make sure the pressure relief valve setting is
correct).  Just tell them it's for a 'belly' tank.  A bit pricey ($45)
but a lot cheaper than the alternative (new tank, burned van).  Believe
me, you don't want to watch your van burn to the ground...BTDT, didn't
get a T-shirt.
