new 30# regulator

[illapah]

Talked to Marshal Controls last week about the C621 -1249 propane regulator that they no longer make.
Talked to Mark Smith and he said that the new replacement part will be available in October of this year.
I haven't had any problem with mine but think I will get the new regulator just as a precaution. He also said that not all of the red regulators are 18# ones. He said that the 'bad' regulator is red on top and silver on the bottom.
My rig is in Montana and I won't see it for two more weeks so I am unsure as to the one I have installed.

Did he say what changes are going into the replacement, or why the old one was discontinued?

Your Montana is in Montana ??? Very catchy !!!!!!!

He gave no reason for the new regulator. I didn't think to ask.

Just went out and checked ours. It is the 18 psi model, but completely red. So I am assuming it will be okay and not need replacing????

The only risk you run Jackel1959 is that the 18# may not be strong enough under some conditions. Since I had read this so many times even from MOCers and I didn't want to worry about it, I upgraded my 18# to a 30#. I just checked the 30# in my rig and it is completely red just like the 18# I replaced.

Bend full timing since 2004 without one of these.

Never had a reg on the entry side of mine did not come with one. I just turn on the tank real slow it's worked for me since 05. The auto reg on the other hand is not all that great I am on my 3th one.
