This summer I cleaned up the propane tank and took it to Valley National Gas for certification.

I had it filled on Saturday. It stays closed just fine, but the valve leaks when full open.

Valley shuttered their branch here, so recourse is an hour drive.

Can I grab a valve from a 20 lb cylinder? It looks to be the same thread.

Or, what's a recommended replacement.

I took mine apart, and sourced new O rings from the local Ace hardware and reassembled. Leaks a bit in transition, but no leaks fully open or fully closed. It has an adaptor for a grill hose which leaked a little till Frady took a Crescent wrench and told it to stop.
