INCREASING lpg capacity ?
Are older tanks worth the effort or the expense? Does anyone actually check dates of manufacture ? Best to just buy new ? Best deals ?
Forum Discussion
Are you talking the installed tank in your Class A? Or are you talking about propane cylinders like what powers most of the home barbecue's?
All I know about tanks is what I read on this forum. Supposedly there is not date code and they are just inspected for damage then filled.
Portable cylinders like for a barbecue or the larger one on the tongues of trailers on the other hand do have a date code and are supposed to be inspected/replaced after a set amount of years. If you need to replace one of these cylinders I think Costco has the best deal. Take the 20 lb barbecue cylinder that Costco sells. Theirs has an actual float gauge that will tell you how much propane is left before you start cooking.
