Horizontal 20 lb. propane tanks.
Okay, now I'm confused. I just got an email ad from a particular RV vendor and they are selling horizontal 20 lb. propane tanks for $157. What is the deal and why would they be so much more expensive ...

ASME tanks are made of heavier gauge material, are intended to be mounted permanently, don't need regular recertification, have fixed supply connections with hard line, are refilled while on the vehicle through a special refill port, and aren't required to have an Overfill Prevention Device (OPD).
Not meaning to nit-pick, but ASME tanks had an overfill prevention device (OPD) years (1984) before they were mandated on DOT cylinders (2001). They use a bit different design due to the differences in filling, but the purpose is exactly the same.
