Hi, I just had my propane tank out to repaint and to re-valve it. I warned the shop that the new regulator had to be the same size as the old one to fit into the little plastic cover, but as dreaded, the replacement they came up with is about two inches longer or so. As I've been told that there is no direct replacement for the original regulator, I was wondering what other listees may have come up with to accomodate the larger size regulators with a cover. The shop also replaced the inlet valve (which I've heard is an autostop valve, is this correct?) with just a regular straight through one. Does this represent any safety concerns, for example, do most gas station attendants know what they are doing so they don't overfill the tank? My tank was pretty rusty (it's all cleaned up and painted now), so I've decided to treat it with a good layer of asphalt based undercoating. Any reservations here from anyone? thanks, Paul Travassos, '85 Westy Victoria BC
