Pretty much that would be it. Assuming the fittings match. I'm not
sure what type of connector you have.

Good question on the fittings!

I am contemplating doing this so I don't even know where to get the smaller
tanks yet but I'll watch out for fitting mismatch.

Does Home Depot sell the smaller tanks?
I'm thinking of a size that's about as tall as a short person.


100# tank. Does the existing tank have a regulator?

My propane vendor changed the regulator on my tank from a one stage to a
two stage this spring. I'll pass on what he said as I watched him turn
off the valve. He would close it 30 degrees or so and back it out,
repeating the process gradually until the vale was seated. His theory
was old valve that haven't been turned off in years tend to leak if you
just crank them down tight.

ymmv, but taking a few seconds longer to turn it off can't hurt.

I'm sure you know but j.i.c -- POL fittings have left handed threads. I
use soapy water in a spray bottle to make sure everything is good when
I'm done.

If you have a gas stove turn the burners on to purge the lines. No
matter how fast you are the propane tends to escape and leave some air
in the line.
