LPG tank splitter

[timtana]

Has anyone used a tank splitter on the LPG to run a stove or other propane units outside on the mounted tank of thier FWC? I have always used a tree type to run my stove,lantern and gas BBQ while tent camping.

I've always used the tree too. But thinking about it, having that as an option would be nice. Next time I fill up at the local amerigas I'll have to talk to them about it.

Extend A Flow

You might try to google EXTEND A FLOW. Looks like they have a variety of tees available

I haven't used any of these websites but I think this is what you are looking for.

Good luck,
Jim

Thats the idea, but theres no way that would fit. Thats why I was thinking something a little more custom.

This one has a right angle bend to it which might help with the tight space.

My last trailer had a quick connect outlet for an RV-Que Grill that mounted on the side of the trailer. If these screw on tees won't work you could put a tee in the gas line and run it to one of the quick connects...

You might also be able to make a tee with these parts -->>>

That might work. I thought about a quick connect, but I've had some bad luck with those leaking after a while. And water/air leaks are one thing, I really don't want a propane leak.

I added a T in the propane compartment. I store about 12 feet of hose in there and when camping pull it out to power the light or coleman road trip grill.

bteam,
Could you post a picture of how you did it?
Thanks,
Jim

Do post a pic I too would be interested in it.
Thx, Jay

I put this in a long time ago when I first got the camper so I don't remember what parts I used. They look like the extend a T that Jim posted. It works very well. The hose is long enough to go under the truck and to the table I use over on the window side of the camper. The bungee cord is used to keep the propane door from flapping in the wind when I have the hose out.

Yum!

After pricing the extend a flow kits. I think looking for that kind of tee at the propane place is in order. At least if they don't have anything I'll feel better about spending the money.

I read few "might work" comments here, but no one actually have used the extended flow kit and said it works for sure for their model of camper. I tried the Y splitter on my horizontal tank, and it does clear the Manchester tank wrap around cage, but the connection hose from the camper is too short and rigid and does not fit on to the Y splitter. It's not enough room in the tank storage compartment.

I might try a T if I can find one at reasonable price.

I found the following explanation on the web:

Photobucket rolled out a new update to its TOS on June 26th with just a small, innocuous blog post as an announcement. Users have been finding out about it as their embedded images on other sites have turned into placeholders telling them to update their accounts, and as Photobucket has rolled out email notifications telling them that if they want to keep embedding images, they have to pay $399/year.

Users who don't want to embed but want to be able to link to their images have to pay $99.99/year. Free and lower-priced plans provide storage only.
