Yes it will fit your tank.  The new tanks come with a manual valve,
simpler, lots cheaper, effective -- you have to shut off the fill yourself
when the bleed valve sprays liquid.  The autostop valve is IMHO unnecessary
complication, but that's the way they built them originally.  If you want a
manual valve they should be under $50 from propane and/or RV dealers --
you'll also need to add a manual bleed valve for another ten bucks or
so.  The fill valve is 1 3/4 inch Acme fitting (so you can tell the propane
guy).

Your call...
