LPG = Liquid Propane Gas. We use ours daily for coffee when we are
out. Fill it every other year or so whether it needs it or not.
You need to carefully check the height dimension, but I replaced my
steel tank with one of these fiberglass ones similar to the one
linked here. Fits nice and you can pull it out and actually see how
much is left through the translucent sides. Lighter too.

I have never refilled it ? and I?ve owned the boat for 10 years now.
It has the triangular knob and I can?t see a manufacture date, but I
would imagine it?s original to the boat.
I?ll try getting it filled and, if that fails, I?ll buy a new one at
Defender. We are going to the C&C Rendezvous next month and
extending it to a 7-day cruise.
I just didn?t want to run out. If my wife can?t have her coffee,
she?ll jump ship.
All the best,
Edd

tank is more than about 12 years old, it may not be able to be
refilled without being tested. That?s not worth the money. Also,
the tank, if it is really old, may not have an overfill preventer
in which case it cannot be refilled.

a fiberglass tank which is great. No corrosion and you can see the
level in the tank if you look carefully.
