Propane tank replacement options?

[mcewena]

My 2006 era Manchester side mounted tank (86157) is at end of life. It won’t pass a recertification. Just wondering what my options are for replacement. Similar sized tanks on the interweb aren’t cheap and the mounting attachments look different as well. Some have suggested replacing it with a pair of 20lb bbq tanks but I’m concerned about the angle and and I’d have to have a bracket fabricated.

Can they be used/stored/transported on their side or 45 degrees?

I’m positive that some fill stations won’t fill my tank. That’s what matters in the long run.

Canadian regulations are hard to pin down but I talked to a local propane recertifier and he said he probably wouldn’t pass mine due to the rust so I know I’m on borrowed time with it.

Yes and it’s north of $2k, that’s why I’m looking for options.
