Heh heh. Well at the very least, I'll take some pictures of what I find. I have to wonder if Manchester attempted "built in obsolescence" with that tag. They tanks are over built for obvious reasons. I mean they have to wear out sometime right? <grin> Upon re reading archives, it seems *some* LP shops are hesitant to do any kind of work on used LP tanks. IF that's the case locally.... How does the average DIY home owner type guy pressure test it? Air compressor? I'd prefer not to fill tank "a little" with LP to test it. If there's a leak, I don't want to have to drain tank around here. Neil. On Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 2:29 AM, Frank Condelli<RAlanen@aol.com> wrote: > In a message dated 09/06/2009 7:44:17 P.M.
