Hey thanks! Actually I could tip the tank on its side (Its a vertical style) & prop it up. That may work? If it doesn't have the wet style valve I wonder how the propane co would recover it without tipping it upside down, maybe with a forklift. Who knows hardly worth the effort & back aches. ...............
Could be very hazardous to you and nearby property and end in disastrous results. Would not be worth the risk and possibly be very regrettable. Dealing with liquid propane or natural gas is a whole different matter, let alone things can slip, valves can break off, hose of wrong material can crack and break when used for liquid propane, etc. Even without a possible fire and/or explosion, the liquid propane can cause instant freeze burn to exposed skin and loose of eyesight if sprayed in the eyes. Not trying to be smart, but I hope this is enough to scare you away from the idea of tipping a tank of that size.
Did you ask your propane dealer about giving you credit and refunding the money for the remaining propane in the tank? My local dealer does this when retrieving a rental tank.
