Like the product does it's job.

Have not had a chance to use it yet. Yank looks good and was a good buy.
Thanks,

tank will be wonderful-but packaging was terrible

I've got 5 of the Manchester 40# tanks, and really like them over the Worthington tanks. I've noticed that the Tare wt. on my Manchester tanks is about 1-lb more, so there is obviously a bit more steel in them, being the same size tank. The difference in workmanship and finish is obvious. I have never purchased a Manchester tank that is made overseas. I cannot say that about Worthington tanks.

Overall, the prices are competitive on their 20# tanks, but again, as the tanks get larger, I've noticed a 2-5 dollar difference in the Worthington's being higher priced, fairly consistently. I don't know if this is just pricing, or if it is due to a specific manufacturing plant for their larger tanks.

As for a 40# cylinder, you can't go wrong. I, like most people, started out using nothing but 20# tanks. As I grew older, I learned more about tanks, and specifically the evils of 'tank swap services' (I lost a brand new tank to a 'blue swapper' service that in return, gave me a leaking, half-filled worn out tank - THAT THEY WOULDN'T TAKE BACK ON TRADE BECAUSE THEIR DATE WAS OUT OF SERVICE ON THE TANK!) I swore off tank swap services that moment, and purchased them forever more.

With a 40# tank, you actually get a little bit more gas than two 20# tanks, due to the '85-percent fill' law, gas compression properties, and how it relates to the tank's safety mechanisms. Maybe a half-gallon more, but it still counts, and is noticeable. I also noticed that getting tanks filled wasn't such a big issue with the larger 40# tanks, because they seemed to last so much longer. They didn't run you to death as bad as a bunch of 20# tanks laying around do. It also helps on security, due to them being heavier when full, and a lot fewer people have them anyhow, plus they are not exchangeable by thieves trying to swap them in to 'launder' them to the tank-swap companies.

Nothing but pros for choosing a 40# tank, and nothing but good things to say about Manchester tanks. I've also never had a top valve failure on a Manchester tank. Again, I can't say that about a Worthington tank (I had to have my local full-service propane shop replace an old 20# Worthington valve just last summer, it was leaking during the fill process with them).

Very well made and perfect for my portable generator. I was looking for a tank that would be larger than my barbecue tank so that we would have more hours with the generator before filling. Fit the bill.
