Do propane tanks have air valves?

It doesn't look like they do. When you search for "propane tanks" "air valves" (both quoted), the low number of results suggests they don't go together. A propane valve is slightly different than the valve for a standard air tank. They are known as OPD valves and will only allow gas to escape when the valve is connected to a hose or appliance. This is accomplished by a second internal vlave that must be depressed before gas will flow. Valves for non-flammable gas don't generally have this feature.
