Using a forklift propane tank for welding is not recommended. Propane tanks are designed for specific applications and may not have the necessary safety features or pressure ratings for welding. Additionally, using a tank for unintended purposes can pose serious safety risks, including leaks or explosions. It is best to use equipment specifically designed for welding to ensure safety and effectiveness.
On average a general 5000# to 7000# fork lift will use 1.5 gallons of Propane.
The forklift cylinder should have a 3/4 inch vapor outlet in it. A vapor valve can be installed in this outlet although a fill valve will usually need to be removed first. The cylinder can be filled and used through the vapor valve. Never try to hook up the liquid port that is used for a forklift to a grill. Or take the forklift cylinder to a propane dealer do to the high cost of forklift cylinders a used forklift cylinder is worth more than a new grill bottle. If you are highly experienced in piping flammable gases, you may be able to connect the fuel tank of a propane fork truck to your grill. This is a very dangerous thing to do and should not be attempted by any but the most experienced people.
The answer is NO LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is stored at around 150-200psi. Nitrous Oxide is stored at around 800psi A propane tank is simply not strong enough to contain N2O. If one would use N20 in a propane tank the tank would rupture before any sizable amount of "giggle gas" would be added. -CJP
It is safe to use an expired propane tank because it is a heat source and not an actual food. The only concern is if the tank is still safe to use without a risk of combusting.
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.
If a forklift is considered a type LP (Liquid Propane), it means that the forklift operates using liquid propane gas as its fuel source. This type of forklift is typically favored for its efficiency and lower emissions compared to diesel or gasoline-powered forklifts. Additionally, LP forklifts can provide more consistent power and performance in various operational conditions, making them suitable for indoor and outdoor use. However, proper storage and handling of propane are essential for safety.

A 16 oz propane tank can typically last for about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the BTU rating of the device that it is fueling. This can vary based on the intensity of use and the specific appliance being used with the tank.
Most propane grills use a general propane that can be bought in any store. Portable propane grills often come with their own propane tank, therefore making there be no need to choose your own propane.
To safely use a propane tank cooking burner for outdoor cooking, follow these steps: Check for any leaks in the propane tank and connections before use. Keep the propane tank in an upright position and away from heat sources. Use the burner in a well-ventilated area to prevent carbon monoxide buildup. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby in case of emergencies. Never leave the burner unattended while in use. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper operation and maintenance.
The condensation line on the outside of a propane tank will show the level of fuel. The relative weight can also determine if it is time for a refill. A tank which is rusted or has valve damage should not be refilled.
in short yes, I made a portable grill out of a 20lb tank it works great
