Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Rolled hull OR propane tank??

[Jon Wallace <jonw@psubs.org>]

Josh,

It is generally accepted that having a tank rolled to your 
specifications is more practical than modifying a propane tank.  By the 
time you've cut the tank, installed ribs, and cleaned the propane 
"stink" out of the metal you have exerted more effort than just starting 
with a rolled cylinder.  It's no different than construction work...it 
is much easier to build from scratch than have to perform demolition, 
clean-up, and then rebuild.  Do an internet search for "tank head" or 
"rolled cylinder" and you'll find companies that perform this service.  
Depending upon where you live you might find a local shop to do the 
rolling for you.
