Does anyone have a line on a Manchester propane tank model 6813 or 6814? They've been listed as back ordered or discontinued for months. I haven't had any luck finding an alternative. Looking for 5-8 gallon capacity that will fit under the passenger side floor boards. Thanks.

I had lengthy conversation with a Manchester tank customer service rep a few months ago about product availability. A big lack of materials and a substantial labor shortage contributed to a projected availability of the particular tank I asked about, at 50 weeks.

Propane Tank Passenger Side Undermount

Hey Ya'll, I'm going to do a propane under mount. I've already mounted a water tank on the driver side & would like to place the propane tank on the right side. I'm looking to see if someone has already done so in this location & what size of a tank did they use. I do not want to move my spare...

The Manchesters are good choices if you can get them. They definitely fit. The tank from the UK discussed in the linked thread may be an issue due to certification marking. Some places may refuse to fill it.

I've had zero luck finding a Manchester. I guess I'll have to find a Gas-It and deal with the fittings. Amazing there are so few options.

They are very common in Class B RVs. Maybe look for used in a junkyard? ASME tanks don't have expiration dates. If they are not very rusty or torn up, used ones can be tested for leaks and continue to be used for years.

But an Engine gas/fuel tank is no good for an RV's domestic appliances!

The Engine tank delivers liquified gas to the engine whereas an RV tank delivers gas. BIG difference.

Not sure if you've resolved your search and it may not fit your plan but I have a Manchester 6811, 8" Dia X 42" Long, available. I bought it ~6 years ago and never used it; ended up going with a smaller unit.

Also known as the Slickdeals effect. Post something online and it sells out in minutes. Make sure to buy, then post.

Did you happen to catch who was the seller? Amazon or a third party? At the moment, I see four sellers on Amazon that claim to have stock.

Ours came from NTP Distributing:

Shop our Huge Selection of Off-Road Gear at Trunder Powersports. We carry Parts Accessories Apparel, OEM and aftermarket products. Free Shipping and Price Match Guarantee.

Cheaper than Amazon, but out of stock.

This place claims stock and is even cheaper:


I don't know anything about them.

It kind of seems a container load just got delivered to various distributors.

I bought it on amazon before posting here and autoplicity was the seller. Their pricing seems all over the place. I ordered on Friday night, and Sat morning it was a different price. The link you shared from their own website seems cheaper than both prices I've seen on amazon. I asked but they don't do price matching, which kinda sucks. I'm still happy I got one though. If anyone still needs one they should grab from the link marklg shared above.
