Volks, I'd like to second Richard's approach. This is what I did to the RoadHaus with two exceptions. 1. I used two new tanks complete with matched "Auto Fill Valves" purchased from Bus Depot 2. I installed a standard L-Shaped connector ahead of the regulator on the second tank for the Propex Furnace connection. The two tanks are connected just after the primary tank regulator via the T-Connector that has already been mentioned. I keep one tank valve off and one on. Switching when one tank runs dry. all roads lead to VW repair shops, Larry Chase Email: RoadGuy@RoadHaus.com Web: www.RoadHaus.com Cell: 480 620 8966 What: North American Road Trip How: RoadHaus - 1990 White VW Westfalia Syncro Today: Rapid City, SD - - -

I described how I installed a second tank and BenT put it on his web pages: http://hometown.aol.com/realsf/howtopage2.html Note that I did not connect high pressure. I run each tank separately. That is, I run everything off of one tank until it is empty and then switch to the other. That way, I never run out of propane-- in theory. In fact, I've screwed up so now write in my maintenance log when I fill a tank. ;-) Richard A. Jones Boulder, Colorado |
