T.J., its not a personal judgement or attack towards you, so please don't take it that way. I just find that to be a ridiculous amount of fuel for any vehicle to haul, short of a delivery truck. Most18 Wheelers don't carry half that. Convenient, oh my yes, but geez, I need a permission from the fire department if I want to keep more than two 20 lb tanks of propane on my property for pete's sake! :-) And the environmentalists here get all pissy and bent out of shape when a vanagon spits out a bit too much NOX.... C'mon you folks, where is your outrage! Imagine the environmental disaster if the tank splits, or gets a hole punched through it. This is what I meant before about the hypocrisy of the whole "save the planet" mentality. Anyway, what's the most fuel you ever bought at one time? Mark.
