Hi JD,

In 2001??? they passed a national law that requires the company filling the tank to also own the tank. This new law went as far too include RV tanks.

My local suppliers have been doing this since the 90's, if they don't own the tank, they won't fill it, period. I went with plan "B"

This keeps the owner from shopping prices.

You might want to do a google search too read up on how too make your own methane generator. A guy in England swears he runs his entire farm off of home generated methane, lights, cooking, heating, tractors, pick-up, etc, on a 10ft dia x 18" deep concrete generator. The concrete lid is exposed to the sun. He said he recharges the generator with water, manure and straw once per-year, (nothing more than a septic tank.)

Plan "B". Another solution is too buy several 100lb tanks then connect them too a common manifold. The 100lb tanks don't have the OPD valves so you can still flip the tank upside down a get liquid LP.

A refrigeration diaphragm vacuum pump will boil water at 70ºf and pump the water vapor out of a empty tank, about 24hrs depending on water content. All water will removed at 29.925hg and starts boiling at 28.5hg@70ºf
