[C320-list] Propane tank question

[KEN GEIGER]

Northern Dream came to us 10 years ago with a Fibre glass tank.  Last year our refilled refused to do so.  Upon investigation I found the FG manufacturer was out of business and the tanks  unbeknownst to me, had been declared dangerous many year before.  I could not find a reasonably priced Alu tank and some tanks looked like they might fit but were a little to big in diameter.  Finally found an inexpensive steel tank.  It was probably an RV application.  
I do not know if all 320s have the same tank locker, but you had better know the dimensions before you buy.
