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. Ivan Vegvary |

Ivan Vegvary 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.

MikeB 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 ! -- Snag Learning keeps you young ! |
