You must be talking about the auto-stop valve, not the fill valve. The fill valve on these tanks is a standard part and can be easily obtained at any propane supply shop. I think I paid less than $30 for a new one last summer. The auto-stop valve is indeed no longer manufactured but is rebuildable with a kit available from Euro-American RV (formerly Delta 6), the original supplier of many Westy parts.
