[VAC] OPDs on Horizontal Tanks

[Steve Hingtgen <Steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Fellow Streamers,

I just got word back directly from Worthington Cylinders 
(makers of aluminum LP tanks for Airstream and for us). 
Here's what I have learned:

Aluminum horizontals are now available in 20#, 30# and 40# 
sizes.  There is a separate filler valve with the OPD on it. 
They MUST be filled in a vertical position, only thru the 
filler valve.  The service valve now has a check mechanism 
that prevents filling thru the service valve.

There isn't a remote sensor as there just isn't room in the 
tank for another float.  Worthington's engineers tried and 
tried, and it just doesn't fit.

The cut-off for non-OPD cylinders is 4/1/02. As of that 
date, no propane filler will be allowed to fill a tank that 
doesn't have an OPD.

Contact us off-list if you'd like pricing information.
