Hi Volks, Thanks to everyone for the advice on the tank. Ken's supplier is very sure it will fit my van so I'm off to New Jersey to have it installed. Yes, I know I should be doing it myself but it involves cutting and welding I don't have, nor have I ever used a welding torch and I just don't think it is the right project to get my feet wet. Any advice for the trip down? I'll either take 90 (or 81 via Kingston / Watertown) to Syracuse New York and then South.
