Any good online sources for 10LB LP tank?

[overlander]

I've googled for 2 hours and haven't come up with anything reasonable. A Manchester 10LB propane tank can be bought in places like Tractor Supply and Ace Hardware for around $60. Found a couple RV and rafting stores that are selling them for over $100 which is rediculous.

Unfortunately, I'm stuck in Iraq, so I need mail order. I'm working with our fabrication shop to put together a tank holder for the back of my 110, but I would really like to have one on hand to get it matched up right.

If anyone knows of any good sources that will ship, I would appreciate it.

Adventure Trailer should be able to help you and ship it to Iraq. Give Mario a call.

Yes we have them in stock.

If you are going to be paying close to $100 anyway you may also want to look at a composite tank:

You will never have to guess how much propane you have left ever again!

If you go to Manchester's website you can find the dimensions of all their tanks. I believe the 10# has the same diameter as a standard 20# tank and is about 6 inches shorter in height.

If your looking for a light weight version, try this one. SpressoMon and I have them and they are super cool. I think I read that they give an ExPo discount as well.

The Worthington aluminum tanks are pretty cool as well. Redline has one and it's pretty impressive.

I know these are expensive, but they really are top choices and would go well with your 110.

If you find one you like/want and they won't ship. I'll spring for the shipping to you as a thank you for your service.

p.m. me for more details.

actually, that's the 11lb (short and fat). The 10lb is taller and slim which is what I need on my application, so it doesn't obstruct my back door. I'm fabbing up the South African style propane carrier (as seen in attachments), but for a US spec tank.

24hoursofnevada, Thank you. Very generous. Looks like I'm good though. Martyn at AT has the exact tank I wanted in stock, they just didn't have it listed on their site. I should be GTG!

Amazon has these composite, see-through tanks:

That's an eye opener! I didn't know they were entering North America. I wonder if they will try to enter the propane market with their same tanks adapted with US spec valves. Time will tell.

Thanks for sharing.

As for the composite see through tanks, they seem to be all the rage, but I don't trust them. Exposure to UV and overland style vibration is going to lead to stress cracks and pressure failure in my opinion. Those are fine for a soft shocked RV traveling down the highway, but not an Expo rig. Going to take some long term field reports to convince me.

I have the tall skinny one you're talking about. Got it off the shelf at REI for $70. I assume they have them online as well.
