    Rigid Foam or No behind MDO Walls

    By all means insulate it. You will never regret it. You may regret not doing it. I live in Florida. I used 2" foam board to insulate my shop. Walls and ceiling. It makes a difference.

    How do I plump 8 40# tanks together?

    Pictures would help. I have three 10 gallon Worthington tanks in my hotair balloon. All are plumbed together. All can be fueled at the same time. A manifold to connect your tanks together is not very difficult to fabricate.
