Thanks.
Are you insisting on using 55 barrels?

If not, you might look for de-rated propane tanks that are going to be junked / scr*aped.

I walked away from a local propane dealer, with 7 100 lb, 1 40 lb, and 5 30 lb propane tanks and all it cost me was my signature on a waiver, that said that I would hold the company blaimless for anything that might happen with using the de-rated tanks.

( Make sure they are steel and not aluminium ).

I have found all sorts of projects for s*rap propane tanks - even built a BBQ / smoker out of one of the 100 lb and one of the 30 lb tanks.
