Hi All,

    I hope I'm not repeating someone. There is one reason why propane
    tank have problems. There escape valve. 

    This also has to do with the cold. If you get someone to fill your
    tank in the winter, and they over fill it.!!??!! 

    It will not leak, until you bring it into the house and the tank
    warm up and thus expands the gas. Which results in the pressure 
rising
    past the escape valve pressure limit. 

    The tank will then start leaking gas into your house. Boom! If your
    not paying attention. 

    So if your tank is rated at twenty pounds, it's not good to put 22
    1/2 pounds in it. 

    That's why they use them on grills outside. Storing them outside is
    not a problem if you keep them in a clean dry place. Even in Canada. 

Talk to ya later,
Jim
