Bit the dust.......I took it to the local propane folks as I was told by
their stellar phone answerer person that "we can fix anything!" So I
showed the local tech the pinhole leak in a weld and his answer was.....dude
we don't even a welded in the shop.
Anyone know of a shop that can fix a pinhole leak?
Thanks!

Len,
Any experienced welder can fix that, as long as there's a little gas in the
tank.
I've fixed leaky welds on operational gas lines years ago. As long as there
is a
little gas, there's no air, so no problem. When the little blue flame
stops, you've
fixed the leak. A water line leak is a much tougher fix.

Very common problem on welded tanks, which they all are. Easily fixed as long as there is no air in the tank. Our local propane supplier has a guy that will go out to homes / businesses and fix large propane tanks. They do it on site rather than replace the tank and bring it in for repair. Try another propane supplier for suggestions. I have a guy at my airport that would do it but unfortunately that is a long way away for you.
