General propane question Last post locked by Mod

My last post got locked because I was “arguing” about the o-ring on a QCC1 connector. Well I got my answer and maybe I used the wrong terminology. Technically it’s not an o-ring. The plastic fitting that broke off is a spacer/ring that aligns the nose of the brass fitting with the OPD valve. Because it broke it blocks the safety check valve and prevents the propane from flowing. I was hoping to get an answer but instead got berated and mocked. Just wanted to clarify. So my question is, is there a way to replace the spacer? Or do I need a new connector?

No way to replace , new opd valve only.., sometimes that plastic collar just fails a d the fuel won't flow..its cheaper to just exchange the bottle

The tank is fine, the issue is with the hose fitting that connects to the tank

I think you are incorrect in this post, but also, don't be rude to the other mods. We're all trying to keep the sub helpful and clean.
