Dave-

You'ld be surprised at how nicely the tank and valves will clean up. Our
1982 was pretty crummy. Rusty . Ugly. Take the whole tank with valves
intact to a propane dealer (like Suburban Propane) and have them remove the
valves. Take them to a machine shop and have them cleaned/brushed.

Use the plugs, and have the tank blasted, tested by the propane place, then
have them weld on a new data plate. Then re-coat. My whole tank re-do deal
was less than $100, including a new regulator.

Looks like I'm gonna get another tank for Vinnie. The present tank is
missing the data plate and the valves are all corroded, etc,etc.
Anyone with a used one in good condition?
