Subject:      new propane tank - question
Content-Type: text/plain

I finally decided to spend the money on a new propane tank on my '85
Subaru-Westy.  When I bought the Westy (not running) the p.o. said
everything was working and it wasn't until I got the Subie in and running
that I discovered the propane tank was toast (burned at some time in the
past) and also badly rusted.  I was advised by a couple of different
mechanics not to try to fix it.


The new tank is now in - and I'm ready to get it filled with propane.
After reading some recent comments about fires, I'm a little nervous.  Are
there any potential problems I should look for?  I know the tank is new,
but what about the lines to the stove, fridge?  What should I watch for?
