Propane Tank

[sellis1053]

One of my propane tanks could not be filled. It would not take propane even though the tank is empty. They think it has a bad valve. Has anyone had this problem, and if so, was it cheaper to have the valve replaced or buy a new tank?

20# Tank just replace. Our old TT had 30 # tanks, maybe so if 30#. Was not too happy with the new TT only having 20# tanks, but getting older, and bad back, i love them now !!!

20# tank, exchange it. 20 bucks for a full one.

You didn't mention how old the tank was, but if its not fairly new, i would just buy a new one.

They aren't full to 80%, but close. At least they are in good shape, or are supposed to be.

If the "cylinder" wouldn't take LP and is empty be weight, then I'd put a new valve on it.

It's a 30lb tank and approximately 4 years old.

I would get the valve replaced. Plenty of life in that tank.
