i would like to put in a powershot 2000.

i was looking at this tank to put in: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3823408398&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

should this tank fit sideways behind the cab?

if i get the ps 2000, and this tank and a couple mounting straps, should i be all set?

what else should i know or think about?

thanks.

That tank is nice, but would have to be mounted vertically only. To put it behind the cab you will need a horizontal RV vapor tank.

A system comes with everything you need to install it except for the tank. So you'd be all set to go!

nuther q....

i have not seen any tanks without a tonneau (sp?) cover. is this because you keep it out of sight from bandits, or because you need it covered from the sun?

Can you use a vertical tank?

A lot of customers for warranty or asthetics prefer to keep it hidden. The tanks can be out in the sun without any affect. Think of all the tanks on travel trailers and popup campers.

Sorry to hijack this thread, powershotone is your PM box full? If so, what is your email address. I lost it.

Thanks

i am learning that there seems to be a distinction between liquid and vapor tanks. the ps 2000 *must* be vapor?

Yes, it is a vapor system.

Yes you can use vertical tanks, however they have to stay in the correct orientation to deliver vapor.
