Re: [VAL] Re:1963 Safari black tank valve rebuild



Thanks for the replies. Once the new "O" is installed does the valve 
continue to leak? My valve is the SS slide and the "O" ring in the bottom of 
the tank flange, even after installing a new ring it still leaked upon 
opening the valve. Is this because I did not have the packing?
 Where do you put the packing?  I will check out the catalog and see if I 
understand this better.
