Gas Bottle Options and Size

Bruce's new boat is arriving in Australia soon, and he has asked this question on the email list.
"For shipment to Australia, I had to give the LPG propane gas bottle away (no Gas or Refrigerant entry to Aust) ... made one happy sailor,
and now I have to order a new replacement.

If anyone has the dimensions, I would appreciate knowing them so I can get one before she arrives."

My first 375 came with one fibreglas 4.5Kg bottle, and the next one came with 3 x 4.5Kg bottles. I have had no problem getting these filled, and they are light when you are carrying them empty.

I have no idea if it would be approved for use in Oz, but it would be great to have a visible level indicator. . The smaller one is the correct size and dimensions are listed.
