Subject:      Propane tank conversion..
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed

Hey all.  After the wonderfully helpful replies I got on my grey water
question (in case anybody cares, I rigged up a folding 5 gallon water
bottle, and it works great), I have a general question for the group.


I'm assuming after being refused service at two different propane
places, that there is no overfill valve on the old Westy's propane
tank.  After taking a glance at GoWesty, I noticed that they sell a
new, shiny tank (with an auto-shutoff) for around $300.  Given that the
tank I have looks.. well, kinda nasty it's probably time for a
replacement.


Has anybody purchased this, and how easy is it to install?  I'm not
afraid of plumbing and turning a screwdriver, but if it is more
complicated than bolting it into place and mating up the gas
connections, I'd be curious.  Also, I'd be curious what pitfalls /
problems people have had getting this new tank installed.


Any other pointers or comments would be great.
