Well, I acquired a second propane tank from a fellow list member, and now it's time to install it.... Mounting the tank was easy, just replace 2 of the middle seat track bolts with longer (M10-1.5 x 45mm) and bolt the tank in place to the existing stock mounting points. Super simple. Now comes the fun part... plumbing. I need to run a line to connect the 2 tanks together on the high pressure side before the regulator. Conceptually simple, just put a "tee" between the tank and the regulator and connect the 3rd leg of the tee to the output of the second tank The problem is space. I already had to bend the copper lines that go up to the "kitchen" in order to accommodate a new and somewhat larger (Marshall 280) regulator and I don't think there's enough give left to get a tee between the tank and regulator. I'm hoping that a few of you good folks have done this already and could offer up some advise. (or photos!) I'm sure I can figure something out, but I'd like some input from those who've BTDT if possible... Thanks! Steve EJ22 -> '86 Westy "Escape Pod"
