Yeah, standard LPG tank, only half the normal size, and
Ally.
They only fill them 10% and we have to return them.


I met a guy on the weekend who imports forks here, I'll
ask
him
when I
see him next if that's how they arrive here.


These are from Daewoo ( now bought out by Doosan).

Interesting, do you know what the capacity is, usually
expressed as
water volume?


We express the size by pounds. Standard tank is 44 pounder.
These tanks are 20 pounders.

Ahh OK, Std BBQ bottle size, 8.5kg, closer to 2' high to the
top of
the shroud and probably just short of 18" dia.

Too big for most boat applications, but well worth having.
I can't help wondering why we don't see them here, they'd be
cheaper
than SS or even Galv I'd think.

Because you can't use them upside down?

They are kinda big for boat use. I could ''borrow'' a few, but I
have CNG on my boat.
