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.
Does a large propane tank have more pressure than a small propane tank?
No, and that's exactly the reason for making it larger ... in order to be able to carry more propane around at the same pressure as the small tank, or maybe even somewhat less pressure.

How many years should a gas grill tank last Is there a date on it The place where you get it filled said you should stop using it for safety purposes?
They are telling you the truth. All propane tanks and cylinders must be inspected and requalified within 12 years of the date they were manufactured, and again every five, seven or 12 years after the initial requalification date, depending on how they were inspected. Propane tanks that have not been requalified before their requalification date can't be refilled until they have passed inspection. It's up to the owner of the propane tank to keep track of the tank's requalification date and ensure the proper inspections are carried out in a timely manner.Find the most recent date stamped on the collar of your propane tank, and note any letters printed immediately to the right of the date. The collar is the raised piece of metal surrounding the propane tank's valve. If there is no letter following the most recent date stamped, then your propane tank was inspected using the external hydrostatic expansion method and must be requalified within 12 years of the date stamped. If there is a letter "S" printed to the right of the most recent date stamped on your propane tank, then your tank was inspected using the internal hydrostatic method and must be requalified within seven years of the date stamped. If there is a letter "E" printed to the right of the most recent date stamped on your propane tank, then your tank was inspected using the external visual method and must be requalified within five years of the date stamped. If the most recent date stamped on your propane tank is less than the five-, seven- or 12-year period required, the tank has been requalified.
How to Fill Your Own Propane Tanks?
Everyone is looking for new ways to save money. One cost saving measure you should consider is learning how to fill your own propane tanks. For safety reasons, you should first inspect the propane tank closely for any kind of damage before you ever try to fill it. Things you should be looking out for are dents and rust damage anywhere on the tank. Also make sure to inspect the fitting and nozzle on the top of the tank for any damage as well. Now you should check to see if the tank has expired. The date the tank was made should be stamped some where on the top of the tank. Check this date. If it’s twelve years past this date, the tank is expired. Take your tank to a store to be exchanged for a new tank. Now you have to find the weight of the tank. Check the information that was stamped on the top of the tank near its date. It should tell you the weight the tank is when it’s empty. This number will be preceded by a “TW,” which stands for tank weight. Weigh the tank and subtract the tank weight to find out exactly how much propane is left in the tank. Now you must find out the maximum weight of propane you can add into the tank. This information should come after the letters, “WC.” Remember this number as well as how much propane is currently inside the tank when you go to have it filled. Your propane dispenser should have a chart to help you convert this number so you know how much to fill the tank. Lastly, you need to fill the tank. Simply go to a propane dispenser and connect the dispenser to your propane tank’s fitting. Twist the valve, and the tank will start filling with new propane. You should also make sure to twist the bleeder valve open. This way when the tank is full some liquid will spray out to alert you it’s full. Lastly, close the two valves. Following these steps, refilling your own propane tank is easy and a great way to save money.
