[VAC] Re: gas tanks again

["Gary Quamen" <g_quamen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there Dr. J

Assuming that you did manage to get the old valve out (inventing a means of
restraining the tank while unscrewing the valve with a crows foot wrench and
a breaking bar) and installing the new valve (using the DOT approved
sealant, which is a special hard material), how would you propose that one
should perform that leak check with an empty tank?

And what of recertifying the tank after the pressure boundary has been
breached?

Not so simple, I think.  You wouldn't want us to do something that is
neither safe nor legal, would you?
