Propane tanks are required to have a safety relief valve. The relief valve is a safety device on the propane tank to vent excess 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.
Usually your local auto store that sells propane, or similar propane shop, should sell individual tanks ranging from the smaller 5 pound to the larger 7 pound tank. Some may even sell 10 to 50 pound tanks.
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.
Purging a propane cylinder is done by first removing air in cylinder that has never had propane in it. Then cylinder is is filled with propane vapor appx. 15psi this vapor is then blown out. This process is then repeated appx.4-5 times this removes all unflamable gas from cylinder and replaces it with propane vapor. If a new cylinder is not purged the propane will not burn properly.
A propane regulator can be purchased online and off. Propane 101 is an option for online shopping. Amazon is also an option.The Propane Warehouse can also help. Offline, Lowe's is a good place to try.

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.
Usually your local auto store that sells propane, or similar propane shop, should sell individual tanks ranging from the smaller 5 pound to the larger 7 pound tank. Some may even sell 10 to 50 pound tanks.
A thermal relief valve is a liquid-only relief due to expansion of a liquid with increased temperature.A safety valve relieves pressure due to a gas.It should be noted that "safety valve" is a general term which could refer to Pressure Relief Valves (PRVs) or Pressure Safety Valves (PSVs), terms which are used synonymously in some industries (such as the petroleum industry) to refer to all relief devices in general.

All water heaters should have a pressure relief valve, otherwise they could burst.
I can only think of three parts at all! The gondola, the envelope (balloon) and the heat source. and the propane tanks

It's normal it's the power sterring bypass (relief) valve
propane can be found all over. Small containers of propane used for tailgating grills, small heaters and torches can be found at hardware stores and even walmart. larger tanks that are refillable can either be traded out at participating stores and gas stations convenience stores, or be filled by licensed stations. check for filling stations in your local phone book or on the internet
set the pressure relief valve
