Re: [A/S] Propane requlators and stuff

[" Dean Sale pgtv" <deansale@xxxxxxxx>]

Marshall Gas Controls company has a recall out on some of the change over
type regulators.  I think it was up several years ago,  however the local RV
store has exchanged three of them for me anyway.  Same problem, not changing
over to the full tank.  I called the 800 number the woman directed me to a
local dealer.  Forget the date below, they exchanged mine anyway.

CPSC, Marshall Gas Controls Announce Gas Regulator Recall
Washington, D.C.-In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and
Transport Canada, Marshall Gas Controls, a division of S.H Leggitt Company
of San Marcos, Texas, is recalling about 25,000 Marshall model 250 Automatic
Changeover LP gas regulators. Some of these regulators may leak propane gas,
which is highly flammable and could ignite.

The model 250 is an automatic changeover regulator used to regulate liquid
petroleum gas pressure in conjuction with two LP-gas cylinders in certain
residential, marine and recreational vehicle applications (i.e., travel
trailers, campers and fifth-wheel units). Marshall manufactured the
regulators from January 1994 to July 1994 and distributed them through
recreational vehicle manufacturers, parts distributors, and retail liquid
petroleum gas suppliers.

Warning: Liquid petroleum is highly flammable. Consumers should not attempt
to disconnect the regulator.

Consumers who own regulators with date codes "4 94" through "30 94" in two
small, raised circles on the back of the unit should call Marshall Gas
Controls at (800) 396-1322 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CDT for the service
center in their area that will inspect, and if necessary, will replace the
regulator at no charge.
