Subject:Forcing a rusty propane tank knob
From:Matt Barclay

Hello,

I have a rusty old propane tank on my 88' Westy.  It is bad enough that I
can not turn the knob to shut off propane to the frig/stove.  I really
want to shut off the propane so I can remove the frig and clean it.  So
I'm wondering, if I take a wrench to the rusty knob on the propane tank,
what are the chances it will snap off and fill my garage with propane?
I'm also trying to burn off all the propane, but after 8 hours of running
the stove, I'm getting inpatient.

Thanks!
Matt
