New Mexico is trying to make California look smart, something hard to do. We
just enacted a law outlawing all propane tanks without a overflow valve (not
a float valve). This pretty much obsoleted 50% of all propane tanks in the
state. And what do you do with the old ones? No one has a clue.

I suspect your Westy tank should not be covered by this law as it has a
different engineering standard than a BBQ propane tank setup. But if it
does, Move.
