The product description says a "self-sealing fuel fitting" must be used with this tank. Has anyone found such a fitting? If so, where?

Purchased the fuel line and quick fittings from Amazon/ It's threaded. So, you will need alittle thread tape/sealant, and a 1/4" fitting for the fuel line. I purchased, Moeller Marine Fuel Tank NPT Connector (Johnson/Evinrude, 1/4", Male). Was $9.99. Tank, fuel line, and fitting worked great so far. No leaks, and much better price than at a marine store.

I am sure they mean the connection to the boat motor fuel fitting connection shuts off when disconnected. You will find it if your search for fuel fittings for your motor.

hmmm, does "self-sealing fuel fitting" refer to the female brass quick connector on the hose? i have this tank and it works well. I screwed my male brass fitting into the threaded black fitting(on the tank) and it worked.

There is a on /off knob on the connector to the tank. You would turn the knob to off then unscrew the tank with no propane leakage.

I couldn't find one that fits like the add picture. I use a 2.5 gal tank purchased at the local auto parts store. Looks like this one at lowes. There may be better cans out there.http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=173395-1362-80010&langId;=-1&storeId;=10151&productId;=3126285&catalogId;=10051&cmRelshp=req&rel;=nofollow&cId;=PDIO1

I have one of these. When installing the tank its easy to pitch shut the supply hose coming from the tank. Simple fix is to rotate the tank so the hose doesnt pinch shut

NO.... Just shut off tank valve then remove hose from tank. This tee fitting goes inline by attaching to tank then attach hose. Turn tank on when finished and check for leaks with a soapy water mix. May have a plastic shield covering the hose coupling so it may need to be removed. I was able to replace plastic shield with a little modification. The tank hookup is not much different than you typical 20 or 30 pound propane tank.

The smaller black circle in the middle of the picture has the threaded hole to place your fitting depending on your model. This is an example: Atwood (8897-6) Fuel Tank Fitting with 1/4" NPT Thread of a plug used. The tank does not come with a quick disconnect installed. I learned this when it showed up. Good luck.

The problem you may have is not with the fit, but with 2 gas regulators. Your 100 gal tank has a regulator at the shut off and the hose for the grill also has a regulator. When I tried to do it, I got low pressure on the grill. I was told it might be the double regulators, but I haven't worked on it since it turned cold outside.

...I hope so. I have a new replacement "fuel tank", a "skid plate". The only remaining items in question will be the condition of the "sending unit" and the miscellaneous "fuel and mechanical attachments". I plan on installing all of the components in the springtime 2014. To all of that what would be your recommendation/s?

It will not work. This tank has screw in connections for compression fitting. You will need to buy an exact replacement for your system just to make sure it will work. Good luck.................

I have a similar item and it connects perfectly. Remember that the threading is backwards so you have to twist it on backwards. Make sure the tank valve is turned off, so there is no tendency for the hose fitting to be pushed away due to gas pressure. I suppose you could have a very old tank with one of the smaller fittings, if so, you should upgrade. I hope this helps.

I am not sure I can help here. I can tell only, that this tank has only one line fitting. Based on description it should work in your application. I keep this tank as a backup on my boat and I do not hook it up (funny but it also Larson, only 254). It fit under the AFT bench. Looks like tank doesn't required separate ventilation and should work fine with single line.

Is is possible the heating element is not seated properly? I would recommend making sure the heating element is inserted correctly (the upper piece should be sitting flat on the tank) and then place the cover on top. The cover is not tight fitting, but it does meet the top and sit "flat." Thank you.

I had a similar issue with a Rhino tank. However, mine would connect, but it leaked. I bought some yellow gas line tape and wrapped the connection on the tank 3 or 4 times - no more leak issues.

.....an additional comment to my last one: The comment by Roy H. is incorrect. Contrary to his statement, you cannot attach an air brush to this tank without first installing a regulator. Also, this tank isn't, "a very nice product for the money" as he states. If you look at my original review, you'll see that the tank comes with a 'too short' air hose and, worst of all, a cheap hose-end attachment that ruins Schrader valves. To make this tank usable, you need to replace the hose (with a longer one) and replace the cheap hose-end attachment with a good quality universal adapter that accepts a variety of tools e.g., filler valves, air tips etc. .....an additional comment to my last one: The comment by Roy H. is incorrect.

Get a universal mounting kit ($20)and mount this tank wherever you want. The fittings are standard NPT (National Pipe Thread), and can be purchased at any automotive supplier and some hardware stores. Use brass not steel. Make sure you use real fuel line and not rubber.

Not much help here. Never tried it, but shouldn't cause any problem that I can forsee if you have good connections and no fuel leaks. However, you may have a heart attack when you have to fill both tanks at once!

I still have the tank. The dimensions are the tank itself. Expansion of diesel ( that's what I put in mine) even when half full will still release at the cap and cause some diesel to "spit" out. Other than that, works well for me.
