Fire! That **** can make you run FAST. (words to that affect).

He was a pretty funny guy, for sure. Kidding aside, as some of us
know, propane isn't always our friend. At this point, the main tank
has roughly 20 to 30 pounds of propane left in it (presumably
something less with each passing day) and it seems rather foolish to
risk serious injury and death for so little gain, especially if the
propane dealer will provide a refund on the balance remaining (as is
most likely required by state law). And I take it your homeowner's
policy is null and void if you tamper with the tank and that you will
be held criminally responsible for any damage you may inflict on
neighbouring property. Not a smart way to go, IMHO.
