I was in the welding store today and there's a notice on the counter that starting (now? soon?) all new propane tanks btw 4 and 40 lb capacity must be fitted with float-type automatic shutoffs -- *And starting in 2002 any tank not so fitted may not be refilled!!* Our Westy tanks hold 10 lb. I asked the counter man whether this referred to ASME tanks (our kind) as well as DOT tanks (BBQ kind) and he said yes. Errrrkkkkk! Anyone else with info on this? david David Beierl <dbeierl@ibm.net> 401 274-5827 voice, -6349 fax OS/2 V4, FP7, JVM 1.1.6, JSM 98.6.3
