The "New" tanks prevent flow if tipped over.

I have a shoulder high (some say 30 gal) tank that is full flow.
I use with my torch or my furnace.

The new 'safety' tanks throttle the flow even when turned full on.
I use them year long outside and found the metal of the valve binds
and prevents opening. I have to wait for summer to verify the full
tank working.

Is it possible and easy to adapt a BBQ type propane tank to use on a

No.

Forklift propane tanks feed liquid propane fron the bottom of the
tank.

BBQ tanks supply propane vapor from the top of the tank.

Just get a forklift propane tank.

I assumed I would have to lay the tank on it's side to get liquid. Is
there something internal in the tank to prevent that?

I did see a tank on Craig's list for $100 half full, and I can probably
borrow one and can always rent one. I just thought it would be
convenient to use a BBQ tank.
