Is there a sticker for a smaller tank? > The key here is that the tanks on our Westfalias are NOT cylinders plus they are permanently mounted and on a 'motor home'. As for capacity, the regulation runs from 4 to 40 lbs. of propane. Our tanks are about 2.5 gallons and propane runs 4+ lbs to the gallon IIRC. So, if we were cylinders (we are not) we would fall under the refulation. Now, is it a good idea to have a auto stop valve in our tanks? Might be a little safer. But do we need to put out a bunch of money to get a new tank? Not for me. BTW, my '90 Westy still has the original tank AFAIK and it has an autostop, cuts off at exactly at 2.5 gallons. > > > |
