Re: [VACList] propane tanks
Hi Guys,
We're way past the deadline for converting so a lot of propane companies
that used to provide the service have stopped. Nonetheless I think it would
be wise to let a propane dealer make the swap. The amount of leverage
needed to properly loosen the old valve and tighten the new valve takes a
four foot lever. My dealer had a special cradle with two 3" compression
straps to hold the tanks while they torqued on them.
Just thought this was worth considering.
