Boy I hate to add to this thread thats gone on too long already.

I don't remember is he said the tank was off a European Westy or not.  If
it's from Europe, the threads will all be metric and not applicable to the US
anyway.

Shipping of the tank will no doubt be more expensive than purchasing a new
one.  These tanks are very common in Europe and Bus Depot has new Manchester
tanks for us US Westy owners.

I have no idea what's on the Canadian models.  I assume they are the
Manchester tanks as well?
