The misplacement of the "#" sign is one of the many things that are all too common.
Generally, if the "#" sign is IN FRONT or the number, it means "number", as in "You #10!"
If the "#" sign is after a number, it means "pounds".
I agree, the 23.9# probably means that the TARE (empty) weight of the cylinder is 23.9 pounds.
Except that the OP does not have a DOT "cylinder", he has an ASME "tank". 23.9 is the gallons rating for his 100 LB propane tank. The tare weight is typically not stated on ASME tank labels, since they're never filled by weight.
