BTW – as someone who used to fly cargo planes – please make SURE that tank is REALLY empty. I shipped a spare tank to someone and after venting the leftover methane, I filled it with compressed air and let the air out about 10 times to make sure it was empty. I didn’t take any labels off of it, but I did write “empty tank valve open” on it.

Apparently the process is to take all stickers off your empty tank, and ship it to them by UPS as metal. They will return by UPS filled with compressed natural gas. CNG is rare these days, and CORP Brothers is one of the few places that I have heard provide this service. This process may cost you $300 or more..... Good luck!

What inspection did it fail, visual or hydro?

Much to my dismay, it did not pass inspection (not a surprise as it is most likely 46 yrs. old) so I am now looking for a replacement. My tank is small measuring 7" in diameter by 29" long or 60 cu. ft. Any ideas on possible sources would be most appreciated, I am not looking to convert to propane. Thank you, Dan Watts C&C 33 Mk1 - Counterpoint Southport, Maine.
