[TheForge] Old style propane bottles, was compressor

[JOHN CHOBRDA]

FWIW
	Old style propane tanks CAN be filled according to para. 2.1.3.5 of
the "Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code" Exception No. 1, which states "All
cylinders used in industrial truck service, including forklift truck
cylinders and cylinders identified and used for industrial welding and
cutting gases". These tanks are exempt from the rule of having the new
valve. I have marked all my old style bottles " For industrial use, heating
and cutting of metal" and have had no problem getting them filled.

Extra air reservoir is a good use for all those old style propane tanks you
can't (legally) fill any more.

Rinsing with water and a little chlorox will get rid of the smell. Of course
you'll need to change the fitting but that's way cheaper than trying to
convert to the new "safety" valve so you can fill it.

it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
