I have a hose obtained from a propane fired heater that I connect to my bunson burners. The hose connects to a propane tank on one end, and the other end is a standard pipe fitting that I attached a barbed nipple for attaching burner tubing. Unfortunately, they don�t fill the old style propane tanks anymore. The new tanks have a valve that will not attach to my hose. I would like to know if there is an adapter to connect new fittings to old fittings, or a hose with a new fitting to replace the one I have. I have searched, but I have found neither. If anyone knows what I am talking about, please steer me in the right direction.

I suppose I could build my own, I would need a propane hose, and I could cut the other end off and attach a tubing to pipe thread adapter. I don�t know how to attach adapters to tubing, so if anyone knows how to do that I am interested.

Will this do. It connects a 20lb tank to a heater. A quick call could confirm it's for a new style tank. Then just swap the old tank for a full new one at the local Turkey Hill store. :)

** Edit: I just found this little tidbit:

The new tanks have both the new external threads and the old style internal threads. This would mean that you old hose should work.

Ah ha, so the new tanks work with old connectors, that is good to know. Thanks, MQ :)
