Frig RM 3801 Operation

[Tom McCarthy]

Curt,

I lost 30 gallons to the same BBQ quick release valve. The nut on
the valve handle was loose allowing the valve to move open slightly.
I ordered a replacement from BB for $23 and will replce it when it
arrives. So far, the tightened nut appears to have stopped the leak.
