That was Roy Olynick's van, which i believe is now in Calgary.  Not
sure if the adaptor is.

I acquired an adaptor once, when the attendant filling the tank left
it on.  I't about four inches in length, and a solid piece.  I never
needed one on the original tank but I did for the replacement.
They're available out there somewhere I guess.
