Good thought. I also find them sometimes on curb side. Sometimes the regulators are right at the tank fitting, so might need some work to make it function. Thanks for the good idea.

You can buy hoses suitable for connecting a propane tank to a bar-b-que
at any propane distributor. *Maybe you can just butcher two such hoses
to make a propane bottle to propane bottle transfer hose.

i think it may be more complicated..

the tank is filled partly with liquid and partly with vapor. the
connection is set up to let out only the vapor. in fact I think if
you turn the tank upside down to try to flow fluid out, there is a
valve that closes to prevent the flow of liquid. when you go to a
refill place, they have a special setup to flow liquid. If you are
going to transfer by vapor only (by cooling the destination tank), it
will take a long time to transfer a significant amount..

but I am only guessing at this, i could be wrong, anybody know for
sure?
I'd also like to know a good way to transfer propane...
