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?
