My OEM tank valve leaks - not just while opening or closing, but it is now leaking in the fully open position. Enough to smell. I have planned on either replacing the valve or repacking/sealing once the tank was empty. In two years or so I have only used about a half a tank. I'd also like to tee in, before the regulator, so I can run my smoker or grill off this bottle.

Do I just need to vent off the remaining half tank - or can a propane dealer recover it?

Do they replace the valve with the new style valve?

Any issues I should consider on the TEE setup?

Thank you for any input.
