Dave, agreed, but the lead time for the DOT tank is long. Who is your LOX
supplier? Or conversely, know of any LNG dewar suppliers with dewars in
stock. --- Carl

We had to get a DOT tank. We could get delivery from our LOX supplier, but
it was much cheaper to just buy a DOT tank. No one wants to mess with
anything less than a tanker truck.

All,
Does anyone have a source for liquid methane in Southern California?
Specifically a 75L+ dewar/tank delivered. I have found several LNG fueling
stations nearby, but they require a DOT certified tank and a search for DOT
certified tanks shows them costing $6K and up!
