LP gas is liquid in the tank. It is the evaporation of that liquid that produces the gas.

LP=Liquid Propane, or Liquefied Petroleum

What is the psi on a 20 lb propane tank?

The pressure inside a propane tank depends on the ambient temperature of the tank and if Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) is present inside the tank. It has nothing to do with the size of the tank. A 20 lb tank that is not more than 80% full, in an 100 degree F environment, with LPG in it, will have approximately 172 PSIG, just as a 200 lb that is not more than 80% full, in an 100 degree F environment, with LPG in it, will have approximately 172 PSIG. Examples are: A tank with LPG (no more than 80% full) at 80 degree F with have 128 PSIG, 60 degree F with have 92 PSIG, 30 degree F with have 51 PSIG, and -20 degree F with have 11 PSIG. This explains the decrease in pressure as you use a large amount of propane from a tank quickly. The tank cools due to the venture effect which drops the temperature of the LPG. The drop in temperature results in a drop in pressure. When the tank warms up, as long as Liquid Propane Gas is still present the pressure will go up.

How do convert 28 liter water tank to LPG liter?

Probably not a very sensible idea. Water tanks are unlikely to be rated for the pressures used for LPG tanks, and LPG, being both flammable and explosive, is not the stuff that you want to play with.
