Hi Ron,
I hope you don't have the Lite made fibreglass
LPG cylinder. You can't get them refilled anymore.

Edd,
This link nicely explains date code and tank
weight info. A quick check with a "fish scale"
and you can start the cruise assured of having enough energy to make coffee :)

And note that Canadians get a raw deal. Our tanks
need to be re-certified after 10 years.

Edd,
Mine is propane and can be refilled for most
anywhere. If your tank is more than about 12
years old, it may not be able to be refilled
without being tested. Thatâs not worth the
money. Also, the tank, if it is really old,
may not have an overfill preventer in which case it cannot be refilled.
My tank had to be replaced when I bought the
boat in 2010. I got a fiberglass tank which is
great. No corrosion and you can see the level
in the tank if you look carefully.Â
Regards,
Ron

Subject: Stus-List LPG tank -- 37+
Listers,
I think this was covered in the past, but I'm
getting older and I forgot the answer.
In my 37+, I have a tank labelled LPG for my
stove. I need to get it refilled.
Is this propane? The same propane used for bbq
grills? Or is LPG something a little different?
All the best,
Edd
