Frig RM 3801 Operation

[williamcharrison]

Hi Curt,
I had a similar problem with mine last year. It turned out to be
the little brass shutoff valve on the connector for the external
propane grill located at the tank. I shut the main valve off
and removed the tapered valve and cleaned it, no more leaks.
By the way, on the Jabsco pressure regulator valve replacement,
the valve mounting flange is a 4" square and the recessed compartment
opening is just over 5" so you can turn the valve about 20 degrees
before the (square root of 32) diagonal comes into play.
