Well, maybe I was wrong. Tank main valve closed, one burner on at full flame, the flame size remained the same long enough to boil 1/2 a small kettle of water. I returned to the van, lit both stove flames, both became small in size though they're still kept burning. This samba Vanagon thread: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=174186&highlight=propane+tank+shut+broken+regulator++valve suggests that residual fuel in the propane lines can take some time to burn off. I didn't realize that. This is likely what I'm seeing. Neil.
