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,
I fill mine at the local CNG station for about $2.00 a tank! I paid about $150
for the car fill fitting to tank adapter and it paid for itself about the first
fill.

Daniel,
I'm told that one of the few remaining sources for CNG tanks is CORP Brothers,
Boston (I don't have the mailing address or phone number, but they are listed
on the WWW). Apparently the process is to take all stickers off your empty
tank, and ship it to them by UPS as metal. They will
You might try a welding supply shop. Doug Mountjoy sv Rebecca Leah C & C

I believe the threads on CNG are reverse to that of Scuba tanks. That is both
for the connection of the regulator to the tank and the tank valves to the tank
Is anyone manufacturing these smaller CNG tanks at this time?
Thanks

I think those valves would fit on a SCUBA tank, you might take it to a SCUBA
shop and see.
What inspection did it fail, visual or hydro?

All, I recently removed my CNG tank from my C 33 to have it inspected and
hopefully re-filled. 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.
