Anyone know where I can find this shut off valve? I have tightened the packing nut and it still drips. It used to just drip when the valve was shut but now it seeps all the time.

I don't think you will find an exact replacement.  May have to reconfigure the filter and shut off valve.

Take nut loose/off and replace packing maybe able to go to O-ring ,check plumbing store . Try use that type tee valve on piercing tap on refrid kits .

I think I may have fixed it. I couldn't find a way to take it apart without destroying it so I backed the nut off and wrapped some button hole thread my wife had around the shaft a few times. Put it back together and so far no leaks. I thought about putting a ball valve between the tank and the filter and plugging the old valve but that would have the filter & throttle linkage fighting for real estate. Thanks Tom for giving me that idea.

Great . They have that string packing at most hardware stores. :)
