Ivan, It was my understanding that the "floats" is only required on portable bottles. Like your grill / BQue bottle. Our LP Tanks are exempted ...... I thought. Are you sure you didn't get some kid that didn't know better at your fill place? lchase 85 Westy - - - - - - - - - - - - Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2002 10:21:31 -0600 From: Ivan Boyd <boyd@UNM.EDU> Subject: propane tank float question Hi All, New Mexico has recently passed a law requiring floats on all propane tanks to prevent overfilling. Standard propane tanks like those used for bbq's can be adapted for ~$20 however it looks like a cumbersome process involving mounting a tank on a contraption and pulling the stem out before replacing it with a stem/float combination. I'm wondering if anyone has had experience doing this on a Westy propane tank and what-all is involved. As it stands now, I can't get my tank filled until I get it converted. Sheesh!!! Thanks in advance, Ivan '85 Westy |
