New LPG Tank Installation

[Geek]

So why did you do an unnecessary replacement.

Because it looked very rusty. Turned out it was very very solid metal but that was hard to tell until it was off.
We all make mistakes. Learn from mine.

slightly underselling yourself a kg of lpg is just under 2ltrs i believe 1.95 so without being anal<your 38 ltr tank is over 19 kg nearer 20 i would think

You have to take 20% off the water capacity to allow for ullage space, then half the result to get the kg LPG capacity.. That is 15kg.
My 70 litre tank holds 28kg.

£25/30 should pay for blasting and a coat of zink rich 2 pack epoxy followed by a good coat of poly 2 pack finish.

Not a price I recall around here , I had to have a 10" three way valve repainted as it was black not potable water (water industry) blue. £150 power coated, no blasting. £30's the admin fee.

Very expensive, and powder coating is no use for outside stuff, best only on internal banisters or chair legs etc, out side is eithe 2 pack or cloranated rubber.
