Subject: Re: LPG tank ... white paint or varnished steel? 

I'm going to paint it white today, then go look for an RV center to sell me 
a new valve and 80% (is that right?) regulator. 

It's perhaps stupid to try and explain why I  wanted to keep the tank shiny 
steel. Some of you will get it. Some will not.
