My Dad laughed at me when I told him I keep one tank turned off, that I manually switch over when one runs out, even though I have an automatic changeover gizmo. He doesn't laugh now as he had a propane leak, had it on auto and when the furnace died in middle of the night, both his tanks were empty. Ruined his trip (his wife was not happy).
Please note, we don't camp often enough or cold enough to run out of propane most years, so handling the switch over manually is not a big deal.
No thanks. After a few times swapping tanks in the middle of the night I installed an automatic and life has been wonderful ever since.
