A question of filtering poor propane.
We've all seen posts over time about people with propane contamination problems. A lot of them report a black oily like gooey substance when they start working on their propane lines or appliances. ...

I have wondered why there is no low point drain on Propane tanks.
Propane has a lubricant in it, that will accumulate over time.
I have heard/read several stories about this over the years.
We haven't had the problem and hopefully won't.
Only way I see to clan it out would be to turn the tank upside down after removing regulator and inside plumbing. I've heard of injecting some alcohol into the tank but I don't think so.
So why no low point drain? Oil is heavier than propane, isn't it?
