[C320-list] Gas Solenoid

[JJ Morrison]

Sounds like the switch has gone south. In any event propane on a vessel is nothing to trifle with and I'd suggest that the gas fitter is wrong on the tank solenoid. What if a leak developed between the stove and the tank, the thermocouples on the stove would be useless. Use and maintain all the safety devices as far as propane is concerned!
