    Posted: 29 May 21 at 16:08
I'm in the United States but own an European version 1989 T3 Westfalia.  Recently when I filled the propane tank it apparently overfilled and began to leak propane through the overfill valve, the brass one with the press in plastic cup (the cup popped out.)  After a while it settled down and we camped over 2 months with everything working fine.

Back home now and wondering just what parts I need to order from Gunzl to fix it.  They list a "Codeux" safety valve, which sounds good, but also a "fueling unit with fuel stop", which also sounds like it might be what I want.

Have any of you faced a similar problem and what was your solution?  Thanks for your help.

The plastic cup is not supposed to be in, it should have been removed at delivery of the van, but most of them still have it on.

You need the fueling unit with fuel stop, as far as I understand your message it didn't stop filling.
The Codeux is the one that worked.
