The different is that the old valve didn't have a safety relief that will pop
if the tank is more than 80% filled so the tank can not be over filled. I
believe the valve also has a right and left tread for the hose attachment and
the new valve doesn't need a wrench to tighten the connection and can be
screwed in by hand.

It has to do with a type of valve they were required to have. I don't know
what the difference is but the tanks with a triangle valve on top are the newer
versions.

speaking of propane does anyone know why several years ago they changed
the fill part of the smaller tanks? we have had 3 5 gallon tanks we
used for our campstoves and now even the campstove stoves we are told
have a different hookup. is this another way to fill the land fills and
produce new products or was there a safety issue? Lee
