[QUOTE="ttown, post: 3712821, member: 2114"] I think mines in the 50’s. A faulty regulator drained my tank one time but that’s it. I’ve been on propane since the early 80s and no issues other than repainted the tank once. Your provider should be looking for issues if you ever run out expect for an additional fee as they have to do a pressure check on your system. If it’s holding pressure it’s good in my mind. Propane is a lot more explosive than NG so be careful lightning your heater if you have an old model, I’ve took the hair off my arm once or twice over the decades. Ive watched a lot of films in the 90s as part of my HAZMAT training. Even massive fires at a gas plant has huge flames but they don’t explode, propane is released as the tank heats, FD will hose the tanks down. If they ever do explode due to a faulty tank they claim a large tank can take out a block. Anyway that’s what I recall. I think this isn’t a worry but you can have them come out and do an expectation to be sure if your uncomfortable. my .02 cents. [/QUOTE]
