My 85  Westy has a slow leak out of the propane overflow valve.  This
is the  kind with the manual valve that you must open before
filling.    I've tried closing the valve tight by hand, and then with
a wrench, and it  still leaks.    Is there a part that's replaceable
or  repairable?  Bus-boys.com shows it as the "Tank Fill Valve
230-20302"  NLA...




            Michael,  the seal is worn out in that bleeder valve.  Just get a
new one.  I  have them on my _Vanagon Items  Forsale_
(http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/sales.htm)  website, >Bleeder valve - $7.95<  Or, see your  nearest RV
dealer that services propane equipped RVs and get one there.
