![]() The hose end coupler doesn't have any in it. Oh yeh the coupler on the tank has two o-rings (outside one squired off inside one regular round O-Ring) in it make sure they are good. Other info the yellow capped valve is a quick fill valve the small little valve is the vent valve for filling and the gauge uses a float and they never work proper. As far as pressures this tank has the same vapor pressures as a BBQ tank. ![]() It will turn to vapor in the hose before the regulator. Get a long one and put your regulator at the other end of the hose that way if you do get a little liquid from movement of the tank. The fitting to hook up to the valve can be bought from any forklift dealer / repair shop for around $15 to $20 US. This will put the pickup tube up above the liquid level for sure and give you only vapor. I would recommend turning it upside down with the valve towards the ground. Due to manufactures different specs on the pickup tube placement. This is not the position I would recommend if you are wanting to use for vapor. ![]() Now if you rotate the tank 180 degrees the pickup tube will be pointed up giving you vapor not liquid. In that position the pickup tube is on the bottom opposite side of the valve so it will pickup only liquid. The clamps used on forklifts have a pin that sticks up to fit in that hole. Those are the orientation points for the horizontal position. ![]() If you will notice in your pic there are holes drilled in to the stand offs for the protector ring / handles. Like it was said earlier there is a pickup tube inside the tank going to the outlet valve. Its all about the orientation of the tank. These tanks can be used for vapor and liquid LP output. I know its an old thread but I thought if I found it someone else looking for it would to. ![]()
