[A/S] Re: Hooking up electrical propane fuel gages to older Airstream

["Manuel Ferro <bonnuit@xxxxxxxxx>" <bonnuit@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have the a 31 Excella 1983 with the overhead panel gauges.  The 
new "legal" tanks use some type of float to accomplish their required 
safety goal.  That float will interfere and prevent any other float 
using the same hole from measuring the tank level of propane.

The way this is solved is to buy a new tank with two holes.  One hole 
for the new OPD Valve and a side hole for the gauge which can be 
connected electrically to the wires that ultimately end up in the 
panel.  

Just before the deadline for switching valves I got two new tanks 
from Airstream Dreams They were pricey but to me they are an 
investment in the maintaining the functionality of my Airstream.  
Sold the old tanks locally.

for a description and price.  I paid full retail as they were not 
discounting these because they had just come out.
