Hey,


Has anyone ever taken the fitting off the LP tank of a 91 Westy?  I just
did and to my surprise they are a little more complex than I picture in my
mind.


The filler has a "bubble" type lifter on it and on the fitting it is marked
"top."  What is that suppose to do and am I correct in that orientation is
key for proper function?


When I attach the fittings should I use silicon tape or the goop?


Have I really screwed myself and should seek the attention of a
professional LP guy?


Keep in mind that in Omaha the guy who came out to "professionally" install
our gas dryer tested the fittings with his cigarette lighter.  I don't know
who's more stupid him for doing it or me for watching.


Thanks for your time.
Robyn
91 Westy Syncro
