> propane tank Bill, I refurbish the Westy propane tanks for a lot of my customers. First thing to do is remove the damn data tag and check how much deterioration there is beneath it. The wall thickness is 1/4" if the surface deformation in the area where the tag was after being cleaned well is 1/8" or less then I would recommend refurbishing the tank. Other wise get a new one. To refurbish tank should be sand blasted, sprayed with rust converter, epoxy primered, rockerguarded then top coated with good quality epoxy paint.
