The smallest one made by this company is 10 lbs., but the dimensions are very close. My locker is a very tight fit for the fuel bottle. I'd like to know of anyone else's experience with these tank bottles. We don't use much propane, and it seems that I'm always hauling more-than 1/2 full bottles to be filled because I can't tell how much propane is left. These tanks seem like a good solution. http://litecylinder.com/cylinders.html Rod Williams Azure' #343, 2-cabin fin Alameda/San Francisco Bay, CA.

At that time I was in contact with the company and if I remember right the cylinder does fit in our locker. I will be at the boat tomarrow and I will measure the locker and get back to you if you don't find out before then. Their date of delivery kept being delayed, so we went with our regular cylinder plus a small steel one hanging on the rail for the bbq. The fire video of the cylinder on their web site is impressive. Say hi to Sheri. Dave Bolding, #462/2 cabin, Main Squeeze, Ventura CA

I measured the boat's propane locker and the new 10 lb. see-thorough tanks should fit with room to spare. By the way, we ran out of propane while anchored out. I was sure I could get a few more weeks before refilling. I'm ordering one of the see-throughs tomorrow. Rod Williams Azure' #343, 2-cabin fin Alameda/San Francisco Bay, CA.

I got tired of filling half filled tanks at the beginning of the season. I store it in one of the transom boxes that is vented outboard. The second solution, probably the least costly, is to carry a one pound cannister and a "Bottled Propane Adapter" WM #315269, that mates the cannister with the boat propane fitting in the propane locker. The fitting is available in West Marine for about $26.
