∙ 15y agoIt depends if the propane tank comes from a barbeque, or other grill type cooker that involves propane. Usually there is a knob on the top of the tank that shuts the propane on or off, you twist that clock-wise to turn the propane off, for safety measures. Then there usually is another knob that is connected to a hose which sends the gas to the igniting area, then you twist that counterclock-wise until you are able to pull it off, then you should able to take the tank out, and replace it by twisting the hose knob in first, then opening the tank after you have SECURELY twisted the know all the way in.

What is the difference in liquid refrigerant tank and a propane tank?
The main difference is the valve.
Why does the valve of a propane tank get cold?
Hissing is the most common sound to come from propane tanks and is usually a sign of a gas leak. If you hear this noise you should turn your tank off and immediately call your propane supplier for a technician
Why would a propane tank vapor lock?
Because most modern tanks have a safety valve in them. If you open the valve too quickly, the valve will think that nothing is hoked to it and will shut off the output of the tank. Close the valve on the tank, dissconnect it from the regulator to let off the pressure and reset the check valve. Reconnect to the regulator and open the tank valve slowly..
What will happen if you smoke by a propane tank?
In normal circumstances, nothing will happen. Gas tanks are designed and built to prevent leakage so there should be no propane in the air around the tank. In the event that the tank becomes faulty or the valve is opened to let propane escape into the air, there is a risk of explosion triggered by cigarettes, other flames or a spark.
How can a propane tank explosion be avoided?
Propane tanks do not explode very easily. Many safeguards are in place. Care needs to be taken not to damage the valve assembly and always keep open flames away from them.
Do all propane tanks have a relief valve?
Propane tanks are required to have a safety relief valve. The relief valve is a safety device on the propane tank to vent excess pressure.

Is there any way to pressurize a propane tank that is still full of propane but has lost its pressure?
If there is propane in the tank there will be pressue. It can't lose its pressure. If one has a propane tank that has "lost its pressure" even though there is propane in the tank, there is almost certainly a problem with the valve (assuming the individual attempting to use the tank knows how). There is an overfill valve inside the tank. It is a component entirely separate from the external valve that a user controls. Let a propane company sort it out. They're the experts, and they want you to come in so they can help. They live for stuff like this because they are professionals.
How is propane released?
1 Find a secure outside area away from any flammable substances or flames.2 Attach the propane release valve to the end of your propane tank's OPD valve. Securely fasten the hose end connection of the release value by turning the connection in a clockwise motion.3 Activate the release valve. Typically, you will activate the release valve by pressing and holding the release button.4 Listen for the gas escaping from the release valve. When you can no longer hear the gas escaping, the propane tank is empty and you have successfully released the propane from the tank.
Where can you find the connection valve to link the propane to your 1977 Sportsman RV?
It is on the LPG tank
How Does a Propane Tank Work?
Propane fuel comes in either a liquid or gas form, and is used to power engines, gas torches, barbecue grills, portable stoves, and residential heating. You are probably most familiar with propane in tanks. Propane tanks are used for fuel in cooking on grills or camping stoves. The tank is normally 4.73 gallons, and is often referred to as a barbecue tank. The propane tank works by way of an attached metering nozzle device. Some rural homes or farms use larger propane tanks that are periodically refilled by propane-delivery trucks. These are common to homes or farms without convenient access to other energy sources. Larger residential propane tanks can be used to fuel furnaces, cooking stoves, water heaters, laundry dryers, grain dryers, and various heat-producing appliances around the home. Propane containers hold propane in its liquid form. Tanks use a series of standardized valves. These valves work together to ensure proper propane maintenance. The valves on a propane tank include a • Fill valve, which is used for attaching a delivery hose and refilling the propane tank. • Vapor return valve that functions to normalize pressure within the tank during propane delivery. • Service valve, which changes liquid gas propane into a vapor. • Relief valve that is used to release excess pressure and prevent volatile reactions. • Liquid withdraw valve, which controls the amount of LP gas that is released from the propane tank. In addition to these valves, two types of standardized gauges are essential to proper tank operation. A float gauge measures the amount of propane in the tank and a fixed liquid level gauge indicates when the propane level exceeds 80% of the tank’s total volume. Propane tank installation is a licensed trade, and only skilled individuals may install a propane storage tank. Professional propane workers ensure compliance with state regulations and safety to propane tank users. For larger tanks, a crane is often used for installing the propane container. A propane delivery driver will periodically return and refill a propane tank as it is needed. In addition, the driver is needed to recertify the tank for safety every 5 years, and to check environmental hazards.
Can propane lines freeze to an inside stove?
Yes it will work. But if you turn the valve open to fast there is a safety mechanism inside the valve and the propane will not come out. You will need to open the valve slowly for the tank to work.
Can the water tank of a toliet overflow?
Sure if the valve gets stuck open and the flapper get stuck closed.

Can i refill a propane tank before it's empty?
The condensation line on the outside of a propane tank will show the level of fuel. The relative weight can also determine if it is time for a refill. A tank which is rusted or has valve damage should not be refilled.
