[VAC] Re: Horizontal tanks and OPD Valves

not sure that's the same tank.

See the web as Manchester has about a hundred different tanks to choose from

20lb:

30lb:

etc.

Their horizontal tank isn't like Paul Farley's, where the tap is on 
top of a tank that sits horizontally. The "exmpted" horizontal tank 
is one that has a vertical tank that sits horizontally -- with the 
tap on the top (which is now the side) and I suspect that they can't 
use an OPD because there's no way to make it "float" properly while 
sitting horizontally.

If you can find a tank that sits and mounts horizontally but has the 
valve on the top, *please* tell me because I want one for my '48 wee 
wind and another one for my '48 Boles Aero. The Boles especially 
wants a horizontal tank because of how the body is shaped I can't 
really even put a 20lb vertical tank there without the body hitting 
the handle of the tank.
