How can I use a forklift propane tank to grill with?
The forklift cylinder should have a 3/4 inch vapor outlet in it. A vapor valve can be installed in this outlet although a fill valve will usually need to be removed first. The cylinder can be filled and used through the vapor valve. Never try to hook up the liquid port that is used for a forklift to a grill. Or take the forklift cylinder to a propane dealer do to the high cost of forklift cylinders a used forklift cylinder is worth more than a new grill bottle. If you are highly experienced in piping flammable gases, you may be able to connect the fuel tank of a propane fork truck to your grill. This is a very dangerous thing to do and should not be attempted by any but the most experienced people.
Is it safe to eat with expired propane tank?
It is safe to use an expired propane tank because it is a heat source and not an actual food. The only concern is if the tank is still safe to use without a risk of combusting.

Do propane grills take a certain grade of propane?

Can you use a propane tank as a nozz or n2o tank?
The answer is NO LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is stored at around 150-200psi. Nitrous Oxide is stored at around 800psi A propane tank is simply not strong enough to contain N2O. If one would use N20 in a propane tank the tank would rupture before any sizable amount of "giggle gas" would be added. -CJP
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 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.
