Propane question

[wickedstang03]

My trailer has the dual 30 or 40lb tanks and both hooked to one regulator with a manual switch over switch... I guess my question is can I unhook the side not being drawn from and hook up another appliance outside while keeping the otherside hooked up and drawing propane to keep my fridge running without leaking propane?

If a picture would help let me know...

I believe that the answer to your question is yes. With a manual valve, one that does not have an auto switchover, you should be able to disconnect the non-active cylinder and do as you please with it. I do this with my grill on occasion.

You could install a Extend-a flow tee on one of the tanks to feed the appliances guessing that they are high pressure.

Or to suck from one side to the other side.
