I don't have the original Geo muffler any more, but I did think it would be funny to hang the generator muffler where the Geo Muffler went....


Also, I have an old (1960's era) camping trailer I bought last summer to restore. Unfortunately, it's been the project at the bottom of my list.

It does, however, have dual 20# propane tanks on the front of it. The one bottle was a modern OPD tank (and it was empty), the other was the older-fashioned type WITHOUT the overfill protection device, and it is full.

Between the two bottles was a T-fitting, that then went to a regulator. (I have no idea if the regulator is good anymore - it's pretty old.

The connector going to the trailer was corroded, so I had to cut that line to remove the T and regulator. Anyways, this now means that I have a T connector to try the "two 20# tanks hooked together" trick.

I still have no idea if that will work or not. Also, I am going to visit the nearest propane place this morning and see if they can give me any direction.
