propane tank valve stuck

Anyone have success in opening a stuck valve on a propane tank? I recently discovered the valve has never been opened. It's too late for warranty. Now i need to replace or get it fixed. Thanks!

  • Propane cylinder has never been used in over 3 yrs?

    Are you sure valve is closed and not fully open?

    Take cylinder to a bulk/retail propane store (not a u-haul, service station, place that refills etc.) but a place like Ferrel Gas, AmeriGas, Suburban Gas, etc.

    They do propane, they know propane, they will correct issue
  • A towel and some plumbers vice grips? I'm assuming it a full tank?

    You could always take it in for an exchange!
