Back on the list, finally-hi all.

(Answering digest)

Dean, LP compression with modern gas should be no problem, but I'd say 
considering how little actually gets used, premium is cheap insurance.
Everybody knows that modern pump gas is only formulated to be fresh for 
about 14 days, right? After that, it starts turning into ... something 
other than satisfactory motor fuel... Sta-Bil, my hero.

Lou and all D owners-my cousin just did his D, and being a world-class 
cheapskate, found valves from an 820 or something that were the same 
dimension as a D except quite a bit longer. He had a local shop shorten 
them and grind in the valve collar grooves. I don't remember the total 
but it was considerably less than new, perhaps less than half the cost.
