Has anyone looked other automatic propane shut off valves like the Camco Propane Gauge/Leak Detector? Camco says it provides excess flow protection but not sure if that really means it competently shuts off the gas. The Camco sells for $23.26 (Amazon) vs the GasStop at $79 +/-. Is it just marketing or is there a real difference?

I read the transcript of etrailer's video and the Camco doesn't appear to me to be in the same class as the GasStop. Have you seen Changing Lanes' video on the device? Chad does a great job of showing exactly how it works and even does his own demo. The Camco makes no claims to stopping gas when there's a leak, only that you'll be able to identify a leak by the needle movement. Not even close to being the same device IMHO.

Camco shows on the description in their sales materials:
* Provides excess flow protection in case of a broken gas line and thermal protection in case of fire.
But even after talking directly with Camco they are not able to explain what that really means. The price difference is enough to lead one to believe there has to be some difference between the two devices. I was just looking for some evidence that was true.
Did you end up doing anything to solve your issue of the propane hose rubbing on the tank cover? I have the same problem. I'm considering an extra piece of rubber hose or similar to act as a sacrificial cover over the section of hose touching the tank cover.David & Kari +2 Dogs (Cream & Winston)

So, I looked around the garage before getting in the car to drive to Lowes Hardware and I remembered I had some left over split wire cover, the corrugated kind, from a camper electrical project that would fit perfectly. A little e-tape and working to find the best angle for the tank and it looks like it will work fine. The split wire cover is easy enough to remove to keep an eye on the status of the hose and tough enough to fend off the propane tank cover. I'll see how it goes.Forum moderators are not GD employees--we are volunteers and owners presumably just like yourself.
