Hmm..interesting. I'll have to double check my bolts. I can't imagine
mistaking nylon bolts for steel, but crazier things have happened. Thanks
for the heads up.

Subject: hanging second propane tank

Others may have a different story, but on my '90 Westy, those bolts hanging
under the
floor on the right side were NYLON, not steel, just fillers. The nuts were
there okay,
welded to the steel floor, but I had to pop the plywood floor loose, raise
it and
reach in and thread the proper bolts in.
The PO of my '88 Westy not only hung the tank from the nylon bolts, but had
no
regulator on the second tank, running high pressure gas over to the other
side where
it tee'd in up-stream of the reg. on that side.
As always, YMMV.
