OSH has had these in the past; I had one on the boat for years until it needed a OPD valve - it's now the accumulator for the poofer on my BM mutant vehicle.

FYI, I found a local supplier in the S.F. bay area that carries what I was looking for. Action Rentals in San Francisco (on Folsom near 12th) stocks refillable LPG tanks in a half-dozen different sizes. The laws of supply and demand result in the small tanks actually costing more than the common 20-pound 5-gallon size ($70 for a 4.25-pound 1-gallon tank, $75 for an 11-pound 2.5-gallon tank) but this price also includes purging and filling if you want that. (No discount for buying an empty cylinder, unfortunately.) Their minimum refill is only 1 gallon, so it's a good place to refill those small tanks, too. They also stock larger cylinders up to 60-pound or 100-pound capacity.

Cenex usually has those smaller ones in stock.

If you want to spend a lot of money, you can get some sweet catalina cylinders and install opd style valves...

Can anyone recommend a source for smallish, refillable propane tanks? Bonus points if it's a local dealer in the S.F. bay area, but web order is ok, too. I'm looking for a 5 or 10 pound tank with a narrower diameter than the standard 20 pound grill tank. I've seen some 11 pound tanks around, but the shape is too squat and wide for my application. I think the 5 and 10 pounders are a bit less than 10" in diameter, and that's what I'm looking for. McMaster Carr has 'em but I'm hoping to find a better price and/or local pickup. Thanks for any pointers!
