I installed my new light weight LP tank on the M 416 trailer today. Empty the tank weighs in at 9 lb. which is half the normal tank. For our adventure travels I am trying to drop as much weight as I can. The lighter the trailer the better.

The tank is made of fiberglass and is translucent for fuel-level viewing. There will be no corrosion issues and the tank will not rust.

The installation was very straight forward. I fabricated a platform for the tank with a 1/2″ ring to hold the tank base. Added a little black hammered paint and presto an new tank mount. The tank is strapped down using a ratchet strap and I also will add a cable lock to prevent theft.
