17lb Vertical Fiberglass Composite LPG Cylinder with Type 1 Valve - OPD, DOT, TC Approved
This composite propane tank has an internal bladder encased in fiberglass, which allows users to see the gas level. The propane construction also means this cylinder is lighter than a standard steel cylinder.

Frequent Questions:
Where can they be refilled?
These cylinders are DOT-approved for the USA, as well as TC-approved for Canada, and can be filled at any reputable refilling station.
How safe are these cylinders?
These LPG cylinders are designed with safety in mind. They started with the boss and blown-molded polypropylene internal bladder, and then the outer winding of fiberglass to ensure a tough finish. Then it is encased in a UV-protected outer casing that allows for light to pass through so that you can see how much propane is left in the cylinder. "Safest on the market.”
When do they need to be recertified?
Your cylinder needs to be re-qualified every 5 years via an external visual inspection by an approved re-qualifier. As per TC and DOT, the valve does not need to be removed for inspection or replaced here.
How long is the useful life of the cylinder?
Currently, the useful life is 15 years from the date of manufacture, and the service life is determined by DOT and TC.
Will cylinders work in cold climates?
The cylinders are tested and approved down to -40°F/C. However, the use of LPG in low temperatures is limited by the vaporization capability of the specific LPG mix.
Will the cylinders work in warm climates?
The cylinders are designed to withstand temperatures well above 149°F (65°C), and users who live in hot climates report that the design holds up well to regular use in steamy temperatures.

What a great little piece of tech - I don't know how we got by without it in the past. No more guessing how full the holding tank is or having to clean icky tank senders. This little bluetooth RADAR sending unit mounts on top of the tank and connects wirelessly to our Victron Cerbo.
Setup is super easy, push the button on the unit so it can calibrate to the tank then enable bluetooth and set up your rank dimensions on your Cerbo. It's as easy as that.
We've had it installed and running for about two weeks now and couldn't be more pleased (We like it enough that I ordered a second one for our water tank.)
Lots of wiring - no leaks! Be sure to run ALL the wires through BEFORE completing the run!
Installed on Yanmar 4JH57 engines with Zeus Controllers - HOLY WOW power. Losing some power at top end but overall very satisfied. Will do a long term review later. Talk about power - hope to never need my generator again!
We bought these boots in 2022, and are buying new ones 3 years later. We love the design and the fact that they are easy to remove for inspection of the rig.
