3. When I put the tanks in the back of my truck on the drive home after getting the tanks filled up, I have a cover on the bed of my pickup. When I opened the back door to the bed, the smell of gas flooded out. When I put them in, that wasn't the case.
Thanks to all for the advice...will pick those tanks up on Amazon shortly.
Fresh filled tanks can sometime "vent" as they warm up. Being under a bed cover in the sun can cause temperature build up which will cause the pressure in the tank to increase. Once it gets above the vent pressure you will get a propane vent, thus the smell. I doubt there is anything wrong with the tank. A good propane dealer can easily pressure test and recertify the tanks or determine if they are defective.
