Got a 250 gallon tank next to my shop with a hose on it for filling. Posted 09:48 (#1548404 - in reply to #1547746) Subject: RE: Anybody fill your own forklift propane tanks? Posted 09:32 (#1548359 - in reply to #1547746) Subject: Re: Anybody fill your own forklift propane tanks? I can't remember the weight but I do know that you need the liquid form to fill them like someone else said. We usually wait for it to get to a certain weight and than we are full. We set it on a scale and open the bleeder valve and use gravity to fill. Posted 09:13 (#1548311 - in reply to #1547746) Subject: Re: Anybody fill your own forklift propane tanks? I fill my own and one thing I do is first make sure they are completely empty then put on a scale then zero out the scale with the hose attached then fill to the recommended weight. Posted 08:01 (#1548132 - in reply to #1547746) Subject: RE: Anybody fill your own forklift propane tanks? He is a little over the top on the regs though. I wanted to hook a pump up to fill a truck but not sure my gas man would have filled my supply tank if he knew it due to regs. I think my tank has wothington ag on it if you are thinking about a second tank, and like mentioned, they run out at inoppurtune times. I don't think a lot of tanks have a bleed off so would be hard to fill without a pump. I've got a tank with large fill with a bleed off. ![]() Posted 07:56 (#1548121 - in reply to #1548090) Subject: Re: Anybody fill your own forklift propane tanks? So, unless I can't find stuff anywhere else, I will get from them but if they don't want to sell to me I sure don't want to bother them. I suppose it is liability.ĭultmeier is another place to look but they won't sell to Iowa or Nebraska farmers. Fittings that were listed 5 years ago aren't now. There is something that has changed in that business. Posted 07:52 (#1548114 - in reply to #1548076) Subject: Re: Anybody fill your own forklift propane tanks? I'm going to call them this morning & see what I can find out. My forklift tank looks like the tanks shown for lift trucks. I'm using the tank to hose adapter shown currently for my gas grill. I think I have the 1 3/4' adapter but not sure I have to go & look. Posted 07:35 (#1548090 - in reply to #1548074) Subject: Re: Anybody fill your own forklift propane tanks? That's why I kind of hesitated to even post this, I hope I don't get caught :- (. He said something about some propane agency (I can't remember who he said ) is really cracking down on people filling their own tanks. I get my propane fro two different suppliers & I already asked the one yesterday about getting me one & he wasn't to keen on even getting me one. ![]() Posted 07:25 (#1548076 - in reply to #1547812) Subject: Re: Anybody fill your own forklift propane tanks? They run out at the most inopportune times. The price per gallon will be exponentially higher by the tank. Is your tank 1 1/4" or 1 3/4" acme fitting? Posted 07:22 (#1548074 - in reply to #1547746) Subject: Re: Anybody fill your own forklift propane tanks? Your propane provider should be able to sell you a hose with proper fittings, but you must have a liquid draw on supply tank. Posted 23:25 (#1547812 - in reply to #1547790) Subject: Re: Anybody fill your own forklift propane tanks? My forklift has an ACME thread like the big tanks use for filling. Posted 23:15 (#1547790 - in reply to #1547746) Subject: RE: Anybody fill your own forklift propane tanks? Just recently I got a propane bbq grill, so I had to find an adapter to fill that bottle. We have been doing it before I was around. Posted 23:04 (#1547757 - in reply to #1547746) Subject: Re: Anybody fill your own forklift propane tanks? very easy to fill, same as regular cylinders. Our propane ma set us up with a fitting for it. Posted 23:03 (#1547750 - in reply to #1547746) Subject: RE: Anybody fill your own forklift propane tanks? I'm not even sure who refill these tanks. I have no idea how much a forklift burns an hour, but I'm sure a tank will last me a long time. Yes I'm sure it's safer to have it filled for me but I just like the convenience of doing my own bottle filling. Can I buy an adaptor for these or should I just go & pay retail for a refill. I got my used forklift a couple weeks ago & was going to refill its propane bottle today but was disappointed to see it has a different type of fill fitting then for my grill bottles. I'm just careful how I do it & cautious not to over fill them. I've been filling my own gas grill propane bottles for over 15 years now with no problems.
