Letter Re: How Do I Transfer Propane Between Tanks?
Sir,
You mentioned the liquid propane dual-fuel vehicle, and said "...if you have a large home LP tank". So, how do I get the gas from the large tank, to the vehicle." Is there a pump or some sort of device? Thanks, - Brad S.
JWR Replies: There is no need for a pump. Draining liquid propane from a tank, is a self-siphoning process. Talk to your propane delivery man. Tell him that you want to be able to refill your barbeque's 20-pound tank from you main tank's liquid withdrawal valve. The adapter fittings are made of brass, and fairly hard to find--but propane company employees know where they can mail order them. For a detailed description of what you'll need, see this thread, at an RV Owners' discussion page.
