    The guys did a great job setting up the stand for the lp tank.
    But when setting up the second one it's better to measure in a X instead of an I I, that way you can detect when it's offset. With I I you can only detect rotation and it can still end // or \\ . With X when the numbers match it's a hit

    Looking at the “rust” on the bottom of your diesel tank, might I suggest when you move the tank back, that you put down a concrete pad and isolate the tank from the pad with blocks of rubber. If the tank comes in direct contact with the concrete, you have the possibility of rust, again.

    Zach -- You shoulda had that trackhoe operator give you a bucket ride by raising the bucket and spinning the cab on the trackbase. LOL.

It was in a Koehring Excavator about twice the size of the one you guys are using there. He cranked that big ole Detroit Diesel and away we went! LOL

      Considering what the crane was set up on and the pads under the floats, the crane guy doesn't appear to have tons of expirence. The man basket on the crane was extremely illegal lol and the pads were well undersized, no safety gear on what's so ever, outriggers weren't taped off for swing zone, tires not off ground, I'm sure this dude was riding his line with the computer in rigging mode.

    I hope that when you have the new propane tank and the old tank plumbes to the dryer that you put in all new piping and valves and go as large in pipe and velve size to match the output of the tanks. The way you are expanding you will need to increase the dryer capacity and you might as well be ready for it with the larger piping.
