Chavis, you most likely have the auto stop valve which is stuck and not worthwhile repairing. Replace it with a standard fill valve and separate bleed screw. The standard fill valve and bleeder valve can be had at most any good RV sales with a Propane parts service. I have these items in stock if you can't find them locally. See my _Vanagon Items Forsale_ (http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/sales.htm) under "Westfalia Camper Parts" listing. Check the archives also as this has been covered numerous time in the past.
