Hey Jim Where's the best place in Victoria to get a recert? Mind you, my tank is fiberglass ... not sure if that's an issue with where I take it.

I think the aluminum one on the boat is close to original, it has been recertified so many times that the stamps are getting blended.

No way to get it filled unless I replace the valve with the newer “safe” variety. Never heard of problems with the tank material though.

I brought my 10lb aluminum tank to Costco Halifax today for a refill. The attendant did fill it but informed me that they are not supposed to fill them any more because aluminum tanks are considered "commercial" and are to be taxed accordingly which Costco is not set up to do at the pumps. This sounds like a lot of BS to me. Has anyone else run into this? _______________________________________________ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
