Have a small propane tank I like to use for early season ice fishing, however it has the old style knob on the valve. The tank is relatively new (late 90s) and I have compared it to a tank I know has the old style valve on it and to one tank that I know has the new style valve. It appears that the small tank has a new style valve with an old knob. I know the important part of the new valves is the shut off float in the tank, but does anyone know if there were some tanks made in the late 90's that might have both the new valve and guts (float) as well as an old knob? Can you tell if there is a float just by the valve style or would you have to have a professional take it apart?
Thanks.

------------------ It's all just theory till you hit the water.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
