A New Propane Tank is Safer, Lighter, Smarter!

RVers use a lot of propane and I’m no exception. I lost count a long time ago of how many times I’ve lugged those heavy tanks to a charging station, so any invention that makes this job easier is welcome. My friend and Associate Professor of RVing, Richard Schramm put me onto this new product. Lite Cylinder Company has developed and is now selling LP tanks that are made out of composite material. The material is made from translucent fiberglass with a protective outer casing which allows you to actually view the propane level in the tank. Not only that, but it’s 30% lighter than standard metal tanks. Fire tests reveal that this bottle slowly releases its contents and then burns to empty in about 16 hours with no explosion. These tanks will not corrode like a conventional steel tank and therefore will last much longer. They sell for around $86.00 for a 7 gallon 20 pound tank. Use these tanks just like conventional tanks, only these tanks will probably outlast your equipment. Check it out here:
