...that I raised a few months ago. Those who read my words breathlessly, will recall that the Charlie Manson-esque fellow at my local propane filler place had a lot trouble with Mellow Yellow's Auto-Stop valve. And that while some some on this list said that the Auto-Stop valve is a common, ordinary valve that propane guys deal with all the time, others agreed that it was pretty odd. I just now got off the phone with a fellow who's been doing propane for 30 years (Roses Propane in Alpine, CA) he says that he's seen maybe two or three of these things in his career, which puts him in the latter camp. But anyway, the reason I had called this fellow is because I was driving out that way in a couple of weeks and I figured that maybe he could drain the LPG tank so I could put on this manual fill valve + manual bleeder combo that I purchased for the purpose. The fellow said he could, but that he didn't think that manual valves were legal on such tanks as this. He didn't say that he knew for sure, but it was what he understood, and that some propane guys might object to filling the tank if they see such a thing. Is he mistaken? If he is, is there some DOT chapter and verse I could download and take along to ease his concern? -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Utility Trailer.
