Product Details

The Dr. Shrink DS-LWTANK-17 is a DOT-approved portable propane tank designed for marine shrink wrapping and general portable gas applications. This lightweight composite tank offers a 17-pound propane capacity in a durable, rust-proof construction that's ideal for marine environments and outdoor use.

Key Features:

  • 17-pound propane capacity for extended use
  • Lightweight composite construction with HDPE inner and outer layers and fiberglass/resin mid-layer
  • Rust-proof and corrosion-resistant design perfect for marine applications
  • OPD (Overfill Prevention Device) valve for safe filling
  • DOT-SP 12706 approved in United States and TC SU 5931 approved in Canada
  • Compact dimensions: 18.3 inches length x 12 inches diameter
  • Translucent construction allows visual fuel level monitoring

This composite propane tank is significantly lighter than traditional steel tanks while maintaining the same capacity, making it easier to transport and handle. The multi-layer composite construction provides excellent durability and impact resistance, and the translucent material eliminates the need for a separate gauge by allowing you to see the propane level directly. Ideal for boat shrink wrapping, RV use, and other portable propane applications.

Fast and easy!

Quick service. Only concern was that your check out/payment process seemed clunky. My order went through but I also received emails saying it had failed. I called customer service and they confirmed that the order did process.

Glad you had it but shipping charges seemed excessive.

Quick easy checkout!!

Quick and easy!

GOOD, But your survey is a little demanding...
