I know I am not the first to do this, but haven't found anything useful on the net yet.
I picked up an early 90's FWC Granby for a song. It is in great condition and was a 1 owner. My propane tank is well over 20 years, rusted and in need of replacement. I actually have the room if I raise my cooktop about 2"(no problem). I have worked with propane on campers in the past and have correctly replaced lines in and installed furnaces. Looks like all I am going to need is a new regulator and an airtight box to put it in.
I have a couple questions I would appreciate some help with...
1.) DO I need a special 2 stage regulator, or will any 2 stage do?
2.) Does the box the tank sits in have to be metal, or can I use a wooden box with all the edges sealed? I thought about using Dicor lap sealant and AC metallic tape.
3.) Besides securing the new tank in place, proper regulator, is there anything else I need to be aware of?
