I suppose I could remove the fitting from the old tank but it is welded or
brazed and will have to be welded or brazed to the new tank. That's not
what I expected to have to do when I purchased the new tank. When I asked
Jorge about the problem this morning he exploded and yelled that he has sold
hundreds of tanks without a complaint. I can't believe that I am the only
one who has had this problem. And, when I questioned him about returning
the tank, he wants a 20% restocking fee.
