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 thought the OP might be interested in our propane tank 'rejuvenation' with photos. The tank was originally built in 1983. I had it inspected by propane tech before we purchased the '84 motor-home in 2012 (required here to obtain vehicle insurance.)
In 2015, I removed the tank because I wanted to inspect/repaint it because (even though it was certified) I was concerned a propane attendant might refuse to refill the tank because of all the rust on it. (See photos.) All of the fixtures/valves were fine.
I used a cup wire brush on an angle grinder to completely (easily) remove all the original paint. I used Tremclad Rust Reformer as a primer, and two coats of Tremclad Rust Paint - Recreation White.
