Hi all. Finally ran out of LP. Thankfully dinner was made! LP tank rusty, but looks "ok", and all works fine. (though tack welded tag partially rusted through and falling off) Regardless, tank could likely be preserved with wire wheel/paint. So.... PO's receipt from 2003 shows new "Rego" B23 (?) Integral Regulator, POL, Sheet metal Vent protector, and 1/2 x 3/8 bushing. "Chicago" fill valve and bleeder look original. Archives indicate that the Rego regulator is likely larger than what I assume was a Marshall 260. Lines look like they've been bent. (slight deformation at 90* turns from T) Assuming tank is worth saving, would it be unwise to reuse regulator and fill/bleed valves? Or is it time to replace all the parts? If so, hopefully the Rego is the same size as a Marshall 290. Thanks for any direction.
