Class C built in propane tank.
I want to replace my propane tank. It is old from 1998 and looks very rusted. I know my valve leaks and the fill place added a secondary valve to it years ago. At one time I had a contact in Phoeni...

I would remove the tank and evaluate it's structural condition. If the rust is everywhere but superficial in penetration, I would find a local shop to sandblast it to bare metal. Before giving it to them, first remove all valves and hardware and cap all holes that enter the tank, maybe using the old parts to cap the holes. Once it is back home, brush and roll on a coat of clean metal primer and two coats of paint. I trust the Rustoleum brand most. Then install all new valves and such.
In theory, the cost for rebuilding the tank properly doing it yourself with consideration for the sandblasting process, will be very affordable. In my mind, that would be doing it right.
Or spend that $500 on a new propane tank that likely has variations from your 22 year old original one, making an the installation full of compromises.
