We have always just turned the valves off at the tank. I have run it out of fuel so the engine quits, and have just turned the key off and I think either way is OK. It always starts back up when I turn the valves back on at a later date, runs fine ! This is on a Farmall 350. When our M-Moline ran .....we did the same thing, and had same results. But we always turned off the valves sitting overnight. When the tractors were new, we did not do that, and was OK. It pays to check for leaks too at the valves and fittings if you can, once in awhile. Farmed a lot with the LP gas tractors in western Nebr. as a kid. John Deeres were plentiful with them too there. Fuel was a lot less cost in the 1950"s, and I always have thought the power on the factory LP engines were equal to any gasoline tractor !! Great tractors they are !! mjd
