After I change my tank, I always thank God I didn't exploded.

@@midnighteater3275 can the tank explode by the heat??

Every time I use a propane tank, I’m constantly praying in my head for it not to explode. lol

[@ryank1273]

You don't know true stress until you have to move a stack of propane tanks with a forklift... And those stacks are minimally secured!

[@tacx1]

So how do I get my tank to the refilled if I can’t put it in the car ?

[@jonsatko430]

On Step 6: Maybe step away from the car before calling 9-1-1.

[@angelisone]

ATG suggests, if you want a hybrid system, get what I got around the home to cook & eat the home. My uncle mod & ran the spiral metal duct pipe out of the home (chimney filled with hot heat). If we need more heat we open the front door. And while you are cooking it will fill the home with chef's homemade cuisine smell. Sometime it get so hot inside the home that we open doors & windows. Real smoked cuisine that neighbors, friends & drive by willing to buy. ATG/Masterbuilt MES130S: comes solid or window. We preferred the window.

Thank you

[@BlueberryBat-vu5vp]

Guys the reason you can’t store propane tanks inside is because houses are warmer than it is outside and when propane tanks are filled outside all the way up and then go inside where it’s warm the gas expands from the heat difference and will start shooting out the bleeder inside your home.

[@redsresearch]

how can leaving propane in vehicle open the propane tank?

[@xavierbreath2227]

How do you purge the air out?

[@42luke93]

Does Uhaul sell propane refills?

[@Ja2808R]

I work in the LP business. Don’t call the fire department if purges in vehicle. Just open the doors for 4 mins. with fans running and let FD fight fires and save your time! 👍

[@hankhill4254]

Hwat?! It's not worth risking someone's life. Always call the appropriate authorities in a propane emergency!

[@healingnicely9492]

Nah don't end your post with 👍, you got a dislike on this bad tip

[@skblack5050]

The FD has plenty to do already. Summoning a fire truck to the Quick Shop parking lot may cause it to be farther away from a house fire. Just don't leave it in a car with the windows up , ever.

[@Ja2808R]

@@skblack5050 you are right! To all who posted (albeit some years ago) venting yourself is much simpler than misdirecting the fire department away from real emergencies. (They do more than fight fires btw.) I’m still working with propane to this day and I will continue to inform that it is not as scary as you think, and if anyone has any real questions over misconceptions I am more than willing to help you get over the hump to be a real man like I me whom deals with propane in ways all society is afraid of every single day.

[@wutdafeezy]

Do I purge the tank or does the place I’m buying it from purge it already before I buy it?

[@hudentdw2]

How do you protect a spare Propane tank filled and outdoor in the rain and the elements? please recommend!

[@VegetoStevieD]

The first thing you should do is tear that uhaul label off the tank, because condensation will collect under it, causing it to rust.

[@arielrodriguez6980]

Can you store a tank outside in heat? In Texas it can reach over 100 degrees.

[@GreenTrilby]

Make sure to keep your tanks nice and shiny! A clean tank reflects more heat and stops gas from leaking out.

[@VegetoStevieD]

Store it in the shade, AWAY from direct sunlight. When correctly filled, a tank will be at 80% capacity. On a hot day, the propane will expand, and should NOT be exposed to temperatures of more than 120 degrees F.

[@landryhyan]

Are propane container safe outside in the grill when the temperature hits a 100 degrees?

Safety is always a good idea. Do not do what an idot has posted on realrockhounding.com. His post is about refilling 1 pound disposable propane bottles. That is unsafe and illegal to transport.

[@Hank-R-Hill]

[@angelisone]

No answer why you can't place propane indoors?

[@Babiisicko]

angelisone same reason why you not suppose to run your car in a garage with the windows closed 🙄

[@angelisone]

No, you are wrong. Many people run their car all day with the engine hood opened (half of the car is inside of house-to warm the home) where we are at during winter.

[@marks146]

They fill your tank outside. Propane is sensitive to temperatures. If they fill it to capacity when it's cold outside, then you bring it indoors to a warm room the overfill valve can release propane as it expands when it warms. This release of propane can then ignite in a rather lively manor. Perhaps BOOM.....

[@hankhill4254]

It is dangerous and asinine.
