How To Safely Remove Propane Tank Valve

With dozens of comments and questions on my 100LB Propane Tank Offset build video, I decided to make a video showing how I remove the valve on a tank, before cutting the handles off or cutting into it. Thank you for watching, please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE

This is the scariest thing to me! Thanks for sharing safety

I agree, this TH-camr is doing good work by teaching the facts that propane can be very dangerous! I wish all TH-cam tutorials were this responsible.
I've seen some channels that made my hair turn whiter. The INDOOR alcohol fire pits are such bad ideas. I saw one yesterday where a man had his cute little daughter lighting the alcohol, but since the blue flame is hard to see, she thought it wasn't lit and started to put more flame to it. He casually grabbed her arm and stopped her, but he said nothing about how his daughter almost got severely burned by his nonsense!
have a 5 gal tank that's still full of propane, but the guy who filled it tightened the turn handle so hard he snapped it off. I thought he was just being nice when he offered to put the filled tanks back in my vehicle, no, he just wanted to perch that broken handle back on the tank so I wouldn't know it's broken until I get home.
I tried calling the store to tell them their tech broke my tank, but they told me I must have done it myself! Yeah, I'm a 63 year old, 130 pound woman with arthritis, I'm so strong I just go around Hulk smashing things!
Anybody want a 5 gal. tank filled with propane, without an off/on turn handle? I've decided I'll just splurge for a new one. Messing with this is too dangerous for me!

@@LazyIRanch I love my all-electric home so I don't have to deal with any kind of gas to the property. Much easier.

@@LazyIRanchI’m sure the gas providers are audited by a government agency that determines compliance to safety procedures. That place is a hazard if they’re not taking accountability-or at least interest in-a significant safety hazard like an unusable filled propane tank. That’s just utterly irresponsible. I would start by calling the local fire department and both report the place that sold the propane as well as ask how to dispose of your tank safely. Take lots of pictures of the tank, find receipts or a credit card statement, and write down any notes about date, time of day, etc., so that the fire department can effectively address this. If the guy who loaded your vehicle is still at the shop, casually stop by and get his name before filing the complaint.

I scrap, I learned a thing or two from a fresh perspective!

I appreciate you watching and commenting! 🍻

When you install the valve in the tank do you put templon only ?

[@beachboy1234]

The music is a major distraction. You could easily cut a minute out of this video that showing clips where the action is actually occurring. I don’t even know why you would cut up a propane tank.

[@brickburgett8525]

To make a fire pit ring.

I'd rather have silence! The music ruins your video! I had to keep lowering my volume way down, only to have to turn it up when you talked!

[@tymb278]

OMG-- the MUSIC?!? Unwatchable. What were you thinking?
