By pouring hot water on a propane cylinder you are heating the metal cylinder. The liquid propane in the cylinder is cold and forms condensation on the outside of the cylinder showing the level of propane remaining in the tank much like condensation forming on a glass of ice water on a hot day.
The propane company just left my house and I paid $1.89/gallon. The propane company just left my house and I paid $1.89/gallon.
That is not a very clear question. Are you asking if the materials left in a propane tank could be toxic if you use the tank for water? If so, then the answer is yes, but you are not going to be having a lot of ethyl mercaptan. An old propane tank can contain a significant amount of hydrocarbons, usually in the gasoline and diesel boiling point range.
The can only had a little of water left!
It's a physical change. Chemically, it's still propane - but it's physically changed from a liquid to a gas.
Based on Charles's Law,when the temperature of a gas increases, so does the volume.

It should be around 25 gallons or around 121.95 pounds of propane
Propane itself is a single compound, but the gas inside a consumer propane tank is a mixture of propane and an oderant (smelly compound) such as ethanethiol or thiophene so you can smell when there's a leak or the gas has been left on.
No absolutely not, especially if it is in the lease.
My neighbor told me he received a bill for his electronic propane heater that he stated cost him over $145,000 as his wife left the hot water valve on running 24 hrs -7 days a week for 365 1/4 days
The propane will leak out
Depending on how long you left it out~ either nothing or less water. The water would have evaporated into the air.
When produced propane and butane is odorless and colorless. Ethyl mercaptan is the odorant added to propane and butane in the processing and refining process to provide a detectable odor. Under certain conditions the odorant in propane may oxidize and lose its destictive odor. This odor fade can occur in new steel containers when first placed into service and in older steel containers that have been left open to the atmosphere. Air, water, or rust in a propane tank or cylinder can also reduce propane odor concentration. Ethyl mercaptan is toxic although the amount added to propane is non-threatening.
