If you open both tanks, will they:
1. Level out to both 2/3 full?
2. Flow the full one until it equals the other tank?
3. Both flow evenly?
This assumes you have a proper crossover valve on top of the regulator.
1: NO
2: NO
3: NO
The Crossover valve allows the SELECTED tank to empty, then the RED/Green indicator changes to RED and it starts drawing off the other tank,. Flip the vlave handle and the indicator returns to green and you can remove teh emnpty to re-fill (and replce) without loosing LP to the trailer.
NOTE: I have seen trailers that did NOT have a proper cross over, IN fact I owned one. ON these things might work differently (it had a simple "T" fitting) Such trailers are dangerous by the way if you do not follow the proper procedure you can get serious injury or a propane explosion.
