Subject:propane tank float question
From:Ivan Boyd
Date:Wed, 10 Jul 2002 10:21:31 -0600

Hi All,

New Mexico has recently passed a law requiring floats on all propane tanks
to prevent overfilling.  Standard propane tanks like those used for bbq's
can be adapted for ~$20 however it looks like a cumbersome process
involving mounting a tank on a contraption and pulling the stem out before
replacing it with a stem/float combination.

I'm wondering if anyone has had experience doing this on a Westy propane
tank and what-all is involved.  As it stands now, I can't get my tank
filled until I get it converted.  Sheesh!!!

Thanks in advance,
Ivan
