RE: [SilverStreak] LP tank

OPD valves cannot be disassembled to install a new Oring. (Exception: some early OPDs with 
screw holding knob to stem.)
Illegal in all states to fill a DOT cylinder up through 40# if no OPD. LP fill station can 
be fined, lose license if caught.
Larger than 40#, or horizontal installation does not use OPD.
Valve threads in aluminum cylinders sometimes strip out when removing old valve. If this 
happens the cylinder is scrap.
LP suppliers are concerned with liability if they repair an old valve even if it is repairable.
