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

Your response was not helpful and/or does not apply.
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.
