Fuel leaking

I seem to have fuel (propane vapor) escaping from a valve next to the seat, just after the tank connection. Any ideas? It almost looks like a relief valve of some sort. I have pictures, but not sure how to post.

Thanks,
Jeff

If the valve is in the primary fuel line it is a pressure poppet that is either defective or the LP tank is overfilled.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
