So, I had my propane tank topped off last week as mentioned in the other thread. I notices the smell of gas fumes in my garage a few days later. Thought it must be a paint can or something. Well, it got worse so I called my utility company since my gas line comes into the house through the garage (I had forgetten about the propane). Turns out the propane tank is leaking through the valve. The gas is coming out where its supposed to, only the valve is tightly closed. Its a small, slow leak and the utility person said just keep it outside or hooked up to the regulator to keep it from leaking.
I wonder if it was overfilled? Or can the valve be bad or just not seating properly? I'm going to buy a brass plug for the end, which should do it, but does anyone have any other thoughts on this issue?
