Do your tanks and hoses have the old POL fittings, or the new OPD valve? (The OPD valve has a triangular handwheel.) If you have POL, you are going to have to upgrade the tanks and hoses to OPD, and you probably should consider this at the same time you plan the modification projects you are considering. Otherwise, you may ending up buying some stuff twice.

FWIW, I think this whole changeover to ACME/OPD fittings is a crock, but we seem to be stuck with it. And DON'T buy the adapters that just screw into the POL fitting on the old tank. Most propane places won't refill a tank unless it has a REAL OPD device in it.
