1. CO (not CO2) is heavier than air so vents near the roof won't help. You need vents at floor level.
2. You remove the regulator from the 24 gallon tank, attach the extend-a-stay to the tank, then attach the regulator to the extend-a-stay. Under normal conditions, you pull propane from the 24 gallon tank through the extend-a-stay to the regulator. When you attach an external tank, you pull propane from the external tank through the extend-a-stay to the regulator. The extend-a-stay is, itself, a "T" with a shut-off valve to keep propane from the 24 gallon tank from exiting the "T."
