Tanks "for the memories"

                       What was 'at stake' here ?  \\\\\\\\\43  At Home Depot, a [sorta] new fully loaded tank costs [about] $70 --- no small amount for a retired guy ---  I had "Skin in the game" ~~~ plus  I NEEDED not one, not two, but THREE tanks in order to solve the heating problems of the lower level .   If [indeed] the tank was junk I'd have to replace it and the fuel as well --- a clear and somewhat EZ option but I gotta tell ya, I DIDN'T want to throw it away --- something inside me rejected that notion, like, "out of hand" .  

             I needed to drain that tank, optimally, into a USEABLE same --- but how ?  OBVIOUSLY   I needed a connecting device to bridge both tanks which would then allow a transfer, but as we all know, the two tanks would  equalize pressure so that both would contain fuel --- it WASN'T "Win-Win" so much as it was _______________ .   

              I went to "On Line" and sure enough they DO make a connection and IT would half-solve the Problem .   I drove over to the Hardware Store but Skip and his did NOT 'carry' such a device--- a warning shot that my thinking had flaws--- nothing nu here .
