Propane valves leaking

Anonymous-0 · Oct 31, 2012

The liquid vale and the vapor valve are both leaking on my 450 lp and i was wondering if the valves can be re-packed or rebuilt. If so where can i get a kit to do that. Or would i have to get whole new valves? Any input would be appreciated.

I have the problem on a 460 lp

About any LP dealer will have, or can get new valves. If you changed the knobs from the old to the new, they would still look factory.

It depends on if you have original valves or if they're been changed out.

The originals I've fixed on my tractors basically used an O ring for the packing. IIRC you will need a small diameter but fat O ring and may have to check several places. I think I got mine at an auto parts store.

If they are aftermarket (most likely Rego, but other brands out there) You may be able to buy a packing and seat assembly that will fit your valve.
Last time I worked on one like that it cost almost as much as a whole new valve, but sometimes pulling the valve body out of the tank can turn into an unwanted adventure.
Check with your local propane dealer.

Farmall 450 LPG, others, The Standard Rego Valves in the tank can be fixed.
My 656 LP needed new valve assemblies. Liquid & Vapor... The Base Stays with the tank hold it with a wrench and turn out the screw-in insert! I ordered mine from a local LPG dealer. You will need the #s that are stamped on the shoulders of the base. take the old valves with you to your local LPG Gas dealer.
I replaced Liquid, Vapor, Fill, & the big Vapor bleed,,,(not the Small thumb bleed) all toll about
$95.00 on 4 items.
Hope this helps!

I have a 450 LP, and I am using an Impco regulator but would like to rebuild my Ensign so that it will look stock; any input or suggestions would be much appreciated, as far as rebuild kits. Thanks.

Thanks i will try that but the problem is that my tank is at 40% and i am positive that i would have to empty the tank to repair the valves. So i will probably drive until empty and then repair the valves. Thanks again for the help.

understanding that you are 40% full
i work at a lp company for awhile
check with your supplier they may be able to do it for you at little or no cost,
if you replace them yourself you'll need a good grade of pipe thread sealer that is made for lp,
and do not use a pipe wench as it can turn a round fitting flat
