20 percent left in a 100 pound propane tank is how many pounds?
20 percent of 100 pounds is 20 pounds. Therefore, if there is 20 percent left in a 100-pound propane tank, there are 20 pounds of propane remaining in the tank.
How many BTUs will a 100 pound propane tank produce?
A 100 pound propane tank has a capacity of 2,160,509 BTUs
How many liters of propane in a 420 pound tank?

Why can't you fill a tank up to 100 with propane?
Answer 1Actually you can, but tanks are filled to around 85% to allow for expantion of liquid propane. As the temperature increase liquid propane can expand 5-10%. Example if you would fill a tank to 100% in the morning when its 60 degrees and the temperature during the day increased to 90 degrees the liquid propane would expand to the point that the relief valve would release the liquid that will not fit in the tank. Answer 2Liquified Petroleum Gases [LPG], including propane, expand as their temperature increases. IF a tank were filled to 100% of capacity, then increases in temperature would result in pressure increases on the tank of hundreds, or possibly thousands, of PSI, and possibly cause a very severe mechanical failure resulting in a massive fire and/or chemical explosion.This is because liquids have very little compressability, while gasses like air, or LPG in gasseous form, are very highly compressable.Safety codes require that some empty space remain above the liquid after "filling" of a tank. Then moderate pressure increases due to moderate temperature increases are safely absorbed, or buffered, allowing only moderate pressure increases to the tank.As pointed out in answer 1, it is theoretically possible of phically and totally fill a tank, but if proper safety valving and filling techniques are used, then there will always be a "headspace" for safety in the tank at all times.
What is the psi on a 20 lb propane tank?
The pressure inside a propane tank depends on the ambient temperature of the tank and if Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) is present inside the tank. It has nothing to do with the size of the tank. A 20 lb tank that is not more than 80% full, in an 100 degree F environment, with LPG in it, will have approximately 172 PSIG, just as a 200 lb that is not more than 80% full, in an 100 degree F environment, with LPG in it, will have approximately 172 PSIG. Examples are: A tank with LPG (no more than 80% full) at 80 degree F with have 128 PSIG, 60 degree F with have 92 PSIG, 30 degree F with have 51 PSIG, and -20 degree F with have 11 PSIG. This explains the decrease in pressure as you use a large amount of propane from a tank quickly. The tank cools due to the venture effect which drops the temperature of the LPG. The drop in temperature results in a drop in pressure. When the tank warms up, as long as Liquid Propane Gas is still present the pressure will go up.

How much pressure in a 30 lb propane tank?
You cannot use output pressure to tell how full a tank is. The pressure will remain constant until it's just about out of propane. You can use weight, if you know how much it weighs when empty, and when full - then it's just simple math.
