Subject:Propane Tank. Shut Off Valve Won't Close?
From:Neil N
Date:Wed, 22 Aug 2018 13:58:14 -0700

Hi all.

I searched by subject in archives but no hits.

My propane tank is 10 years old. The shut off valve gets opened, closed a
few or several times a year. Amount of propane in tank may be quite low.

I highly doubt this is the case but....

If the propane level is quite low, would that affect the main shut off
valve operation?

I don't know the construction of the valve but an internet search led me to
this image of a cut open RV propane tank. Direct link to image page:

The shut off valve appears separate from the other parts.

Neil.
