That's exactly what that is. Used one just like it at the hardware store a long time ago... Sent from my moto e5 play using The Garage Journal mobile app

I actually work in the trade, and do a lot of residential, and garage propane heat. Call your supplier, get a service guy to install it properly. If you already have the heater, and tank, the rest is not that expensive. Nevermind keeping it safe, it will also keep it working properly. Nobody...

It's a Walker roll-a-car, I have one similar, if not the same. It's missing the cover plate over the cylinder. There is a member here, Hiball, He may chime in with more details.

My wife bought me one for tiling the bathroom last year, and I wouldn't live without it now. Great little tool, Mine is mastercraft, a Canadian brand. Self leveling, X/Y axis. Can also lock up and just project the lines. I recommend it!

Why not shut the propane off at the tank? I sell tanks for residential and commercial use, and if the only thing they were feeding to was the fireplace, just shut the tanks off on their valves. Heck, disconnect them if you feel safer?

I don't have the issue, but what about some sort of rubber feet on your metal equipment? Just enough to keep them off the floor?

Yep, hockey pucks work great!

Keep it outside, if at all possible. I handle 100 lb tanks all day everyday. Most would cringe at what I do to them, They are remarkably tough, until they aren't. Don't fear them, but respect them. Propane is (relatively) low pressure, (about 125psi) compared to some bottled gas, but it is...

Coo?

Oh my God! That's terrible! You should complain on the internet!

Get a two stage regulator. runs off one tank, then turns over to the other and shows red on empty side. Good down past minus 40, and they're worth about $100. I'm the guys who delivers said items, but I'm a little too far north for you!

There is a date code stamped into them, 3 numbers, 3 letters (that's a company code) then the date. Month-year. In the USA, it's 12 years until re certification. Here in Canada, it's 10. Your local supply company should be able to do it, or exchange it for one and send it off. We charge $20...

Wow, people actually lease tanks? I drive truck for a propane company, and we don't charge for the tanks. You buy the propane, use it until it's gone, and we'll bring you another one, or just pick it up. Your call. The company owns the tank, you own the propane inside. customer never has to...

My leatherman wave. Never leaves my side.

We've all been desperate enough to try before, I can't see it hurting anything. Give it a go, what's the worst that could happen?
