Does anyone have any experience with these ... <a href="http://www.litecylinder.com/" target="_blank">http://www.litecylinder.com/</a><div><br></div><div>Since I need to replace my stolen LP tank I'm thinking of giving one of these a try, but was hoping someone here has given it a whirl.</div><div><br></div>

<B>Those are nice, don't know anything about them but if I was going to steal some, I would go for those first. PS, did the storage place reimburse you? And-did you see the hardened steel lock AJ linked?</B><br><b>Dragonfly</b><br>

We have had this composite tank for more than 3 years: <A href="http://www.amazon.com/Ragasco-Clear-View-Composite-Propane/dp/B005DGG1SG" target=_blank>http://www.amazon.com/Ragasco-Clear-View-Composite-Propane/dp/B005DGG1SG</A><br><br>When I found a deal on one, I did some research to make sure that it was DOT approved ... and it is.<br><br>So far, we've had no problems with it.<br><br>Suanne<br>

Diane - I did see it but am gonna get one of the see thru LP tanks and store it at home. I had plans to buy one of these new tanks and was going to store it at home anyways. I'm positive someone would steal it regardless of where my rig is parked. The owner didn't but has offered to give me one of the premium spots up front for the same price I'm paying now. Right now my rig is parked all the way in back. This is more than acceptable to me. <div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Suanne - Thanks! These tanks are DOT approved too so it looks like I'm getting myself one in time to use on my upcoming NM trip. I can't wait to break it in!</div><div><br></div>

I ordered and am set to receive it today. I'm looking forward to breaking it in on my trip this weekend! I'll let everyone know how well it did!<div><br></div><div>Steve</div>

Hi, I'm new here. First post. I have 4 of the 33 pound 7.5 gallon Lite Cyliders. I bought them for a hot air balloon. They work great!<br>

Hi & Welcome Freemind ... Thanks for posting. I wouldn't have remembered to recap how things went with mine.<div><br></div><div>The tank worked great!!! It's a little larger than the harness on my rig so I'm gonna have to get it expanded a little bit. The tank still fit in there snuggly, but the bolt/butterfly nut couldn't be tightened (not that it needed it).</div><div><br></div><div>My trip was a short 6 days, but being able to see my levels is a huge help!</div><div><br></div><div>If you're thinking about getting one, I highly recommend it. Yes it is a bit expensive but worth the extra cost in what it does for you.</div><div><div><br></div></div>
