What's the procedure?

Seems simple but I could be missing something.
1) Turn off valve to large tank (250 gallons).
2) Open line (wearing gloves & pointing away from face)
3) Connect the small tank (20 gallons) taking care to
prevent air entry

Is there more to it from a safety standpoint than that
obvious procedure?


How fast are you consuming the propane? Like, are you
using it to run a furnace? The faster propane is drawn
off the faster the tank contents cool off. Eventually the
propane will freeze and no more will be available and
the system will 'go out'. When the tank thaws out flow
resumes but the pilot lights are out and you are getting
set up for a propane explosion! Think about that ..... pdk
