Hi folks:

Doing some work on my van that involves disconnecting the propane lines and thought I would go ahead and repaint the propane tank. My first choice would be powder coating, but 400� heat and propane do not get along very well. I'm even concerned about using a wire brush on this thing. As one person put it, I would end up waking up in the hospital before I knew what happened if there was an explosion, if I woke up at all!  How do people rejuvenate these tanks safely? I'm thinking perhaps just navel jelly, and maybe an epoxy paint? Suggestions? BTW, how heavy is this thing? Do I need a jack to drop it?
