Jim I looked into this last year, we can direct order from Manchester at about $295 a tank, but I couldn't get quite enough interest, they wanted about 50 orders to sell to us direct and not to futz with a middleman. They would be doing a full production run of NEW tanks, had none in inventory. I also had a lead on making a bigger (7" x 32", would give nearly 1/3 more propane) version by a canadian manufacturer, but sort of dropped the ball, did some engineering sketches and made a trial mock up to fit the van. Again it was not looking like I had more than 15-20 interested parties on the list. I would jump back on the bandwagon and work this, but we would need more than just list interest. IE enough Limbo member interest? John |
