I have a 500 gal. propane tank in my yard for heating. I am changing
suppliers so the old company is going to come and get their rental
tank. The company I have been doing business with are real a$$holes,
so I want to make sure there is no gas left in the tank. The tank
contains about 5% and the heating season is almost ended. If there is
any gas left, I'd like to fill all of my 20lb cylinders and if needed,
I can borrow several 100lb ones from a neighbor. I can always use
these, and I want to make sure the bulk tank is empty, but dont want
to just waste it. I have the pipe adaptors for both tanks and a
certified for propane hose. Do I just connect from tank to tank, or
should I do it after the bulk tank regulator?

Yes, I know that the 20 Lb cylinders should not weight more than 20
lbs more than the empty tank, and I have something to get a rough
weight measurement on them. I'll underfill them just to be safe, and
they will remain outdoors after I do it. Of course all this will be
done outdoors too.

Has anyone ever done this? I've filled the refillable torch bottles
from 20lb cylinders in the past, so I dont see this all that much
different other than the amounts.


Can we have your address, please? I want to videotape this (from a distance)
and post it on youtube.
