If I recall correctly, someone wrote in maybe about a month ago, perhaps it was a little bit longer about their propane valve leaking. When I went out to the garage this morning I could smell propane. Tightening my fingers around the blue plastic cover of the control valve changed the pitch of a small hiss I was hearing. This seems to be a somewhat intermittent problem. Underneath that blue plastic cover of the valve I thought was a pressure release valve. I recently had a fill up, and have not used any appreciable amount of propane. Is it possible the tank was just overfilled? I just had a leak not too long ago around the same valve, had to drain the tank and reappply telfon paste and refill, so this is getting old. Any advise here? Do I need a new valve? Troy |
