Reply to: RE: [VAC] Propane Tanks - 63 Bambi
If you have good quality tanks in good shape, best bet is to have a propane dealer or
RV place that does propane work install new OPD valves. They run $39 ea at a local
rental yard here in overpriced California. Otherwise, the "inexpensive" (cheap
imported painted quick to rust steel) ones at WalMart & camping places will do fine
until you can afford real tanks ;>)
I think a Bambi deserves 20# Aluminum tanks ($125 at airstreamdreams.com), don't you?
