Any thought or experiences on sizes, brands, ... Thinking about getting a new one as the current one has some years on it. I do not know if anything has changed in options. Thanks.

Holding time wise, get the smallest neck that will fit your needs. Small neck holds longer. Take it to a truck accessory store that does spray in bed liner and have them spray up to a few inches from the top. If that's not available wrap the bottom half in carpet.
Wonder if a hot water heater wrap would do the same thing?cow pollinater":4z65ci4g said:It increases the hold time. You won't notice it as much when the tank is new but it will keep it holding like new for much longer.
I just recognized the jackets on tanks in an ad last night. Thanks. I guess I had never thought to look closely at the ad before as it comes in Cattle Today every several weeks. Maybe I am not just ALMOST asleep when I am reading!hopalong":1cypisxw said:I have a C T 10 tank with a jacket that came with it... even in the heat of AZ I get a solid 60 days before I have to refill... they claim 75 days but when it gets down to about 6" I have my SS rep refill it,,, why chance it?? only complaint I have is sometimes hard to get canisters out at first,,, experience pays off in the end
