Propane restrictions in tunnels has nothing to do with 911. Most tunnels
restrict it or limit the tank size to 10 pounds. That may explain the
small tank we get. The Maryland tunnels also prohibit it and the
Chesapeake requires the propane tank to be closed. Sometimes they will
even check and tag it. Ferries will also restrict propane. The George
Washington Bridge also requires a bypass on the NY side to avoid going
under some buildings.

Subject: Re: Parking near New York City - no westy's in tunnels

oh yeah, and if you are trying to take a Westy into Manhattan via the
Lincoln or Holland tunnel there is a very good chance they'll turn
you away and make you take the GW bridge and/or go through Staten
Island/Brooklyn.

After 9/11 they don't allow any vehicles with propane tanks through
the tunnels, even if your tanks are empty....I learned this one the
hard way after being in the Holland tunnel lineup for almost 1 hour...
