Propane Tank Valve Flows Propane Even When Closed
A friend with 99 Roadtrek 190 is visiting. On the built-in tank, when the tank valve is closed (turned clockwise all the way in) there was still propane being supplied to all the appliances. I am assuming the internal valve seat has failed. I have never heard of that happening before. Unfortunately he would need to burn off the propane or just have it bled out to replace the valve.
I am wondering if it would be a good idea to remove and change or service the propane valve at 10-15 years (my Roadtrek is 18 years old). I would not want to be on a trip and have that valve fail in the open position.
Has anyone else dealt with this issue?
