See the gap at the top hangar? That's why it can lean left (kinda like me -- er, never mind)
It's also too short to reach the bottom tab:
Since the tank was only supported by the top tab (hello? dangerous) it had bent it slightly downwards so I bent it back up.
It's a Manchester tank, stamped with WC (water content) of 13 and TW (tare weight) of 9.6 and made 11/2003. It's about 8" round and about 12" tall. My guess is it's a 5lb tank? Size and shape look like this guy's:

What I don't understand is there doesn't seem to be much correlation between tank size/capacity and price between the 5/11/20lb models. Don't think I need 20lbs but if the tank is cheapest that way and fits the grill best (yes?), why not?
And I have a question about the regulator. Rust on the bottom of whatever that is between regulator and hose connector, and what's that oval paperclip/safety pin for?
