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.

Properly Store Your Propane Barbecue Grill ?
The use of a propane barbecue grill in the yard or patio is a popular all-American activity. Problems can ensue when the weather turns because moisture from both rain and snow can ruin the propane tank. Make sure that your grill is never exposed to the elements, as a rusty cylinder is generally not refillable. Also avoid storing the grill in a non-ventilated area, such as a garage, to prevent a fire hazard.

Can you recycle a stainless steel gas grill?
Instead of throwing or disposing of your barbeque grill, you can actually turn them into flower carts for your own personal use. However, if you do wish to dispose of them, you can recycle them piecewise: the propane tank must be completely empty of its gas, and then the propane company (or local propane company) can take it away. The rest of the grill can be recycled at local grill recycling centers (if you have them) if not, then you must take the grill apart, recycycling the metal parts where appropriate and recycling the platic parts where appropriate. The electrical parts also must be recycled. The easiest way to find out is by calling your local sanitation department and asking them for advice on how to dispose of your grill.

Are forklift propane tanks and BBQ propane tanks interchangeable?
No. Forklift LPG tanks have a dip tube to draw off liquid. Propane engines feed off of propane liquid, and turn them into gasses through an internal engine component. While your traditional propane BBQ grill will feed off of vapors from the propane. Of course if you could change the valves this would be somewhat fixed, though you will be hard pressed to find a propane dealer to fill it. But the correct safety equipment would be in place to fill it (i.e. Fixed Liquid Level gauge). Replacing the valve and keeping the cylinder the upright position would allow you to use it, but by then it is basically going to cost you more than it's worth.
