Propane shut off valve opens on its own

On my motorhome ( perm. tank), I discoveed that my shut off valve opens back up partially after having been closed earlier. Is this an easy - simple relacement? Expensive? Doug

    Matt, Where did you have that done? We are close & I may need it.


    Steve, I contacted a nearby bulk propane supplier. Bad news right up front, the company changed names and won't deal with me anymore because I am not a fixed tank customer. I had to remove the tank and bring it to them for them to do the valve swap. I don't know where to send you now.
    Push comes to shove, you can try Cinnabar in Sandusky MI. They are up in the thumb and they work on motor homes.

  • Is the valve handle actually turning on its own, or is the fully-closed position changing over time?

    Would this be the same LP tank that you couldn't get filled, too rusted out, scenario form a couple months ago?
