[A/S] LPG aluminum tank valves could be wrong
Saw an article in this month's Blue Beret to the effect that some
people may have unsuspectedly installed valves for steel tanks in
aluminum tanks. This means the OPD feature will not work for them.
I chose to replace my tanks (wanted those gauges!!) but I can see
where if I had chosen to replace the valves on my old tanks I would
not necessarily known the difference between steel and aluminum tank
valves.
According to the article as many as 25% of the aluminum tanks may
have the wrong valve.
Worth following up, as almost every one on this list replaced them
last year.
