Filling 20lb & 30lb propane tanks
 

Hi Snag,
Excellent suggestion, I will give it a try. Unfortunately the 30lb tanks were already partially filled (1/4 way) so I would be losing a lot of product if I vent.

Snag's idea will work in reverse also, hook the 30# tanks back up & warm
them up & they will empty back into the big tank, then you can just vent
the remaining gas- assuming no check valves in the setup.

I'm going on personal experience , we did our camper tanks from Dad's 200
gallon tank . Also did torch bottles , sure beat the prices at the hardware
store !
