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.

Actually depends on how old the Grill is and how old the tank is. All of the newer tanks have and outside valve threading and the new grills only work with that. Old tanks had an inside valve threading and new grill will not attach until you have the tank fitted with a new valve. If the grill requires the new tank, take the old tank and trade it in on a new tank. Most Gas stations offer this service and once the vendor get the tank, they replace the valve and put it back into service if the tank is tested good.

How do you dispose of the small Coleman propane tanks?
If you are referring to the small 16oz propane tanks, you can usually just throw them in the garbage. If not, see below:Propane cylinders are all steel cylinders that can be recycled through most salvage yards. The only requirements are to ensure the cylinder is completely empty and that either the main valve or the pressure relief valve is removed. These valves are similar to valves you find in the stems on your car tires and can be unscrewed from the fittings. To remove the valve, you will need a long tire stem tool which can usually be purchased at an auto parts or hardware store.BEFORE removing the valve, you must make certain the cylinder is empty. To empty the cylinder, take it outside, far from any open flame or possibility of spark, and screw it to a lantern or stove. Open the valve on the lantern or stove. Attempt to light the lantern or stove and whether or not it lights, leave the valve open for several hours to ensure that all of the propane is vented from the cylinder. Failure to follow these instructions may cause personal injury or property damage.Once the tank is empty and the valve is removed, you should be able to dispose of it at any salvage yard.
