I am having difficulties finding a propane tank small enough to fit the tank storage compartment of my Oday 322. The standard 10 lb tanks are 16" tall while the storage compartment is only 11 1/2 " h x14"x9.5". Does anyone know where I can find a tank to fit?

If possible, I'd recommend going with composite LPG tanks. They're a lot simpler in terms of maintenance, and you can see the fuel level left in them through the sides of the tank. :)

It was probably designed for a 5 lb. tank not a 10 lb.. Although most 5 lb. tanks are even slightly taller than your dimension. Perhaps the aluminum models are slightly shorter?

Here's a link: 5 lb. propane tank

Thanks Everyone for your suggestions. I should be able to fit a 5 lb tank.


Thanks again
