Flame King YSN230 20LB Steel Propane Tank Cylinder With Overflow Protection Device Valve and Built-in Gauge, Great For Grills And BBQs

I like the gauge , so I know how much is inside !

My new to me camper came to me with one of these tanks. The accurate legit fuel gage is a game changer. (The add-on things sold for a few bucks I believe read pressure and are totally inaccurate.)This is a real float fuel gage exactly as in your car. You know exactly where you stand when starting to cook or heading out on your camping trip.This is the only tank I will buy going forward. The few extra bucks are totally worth it .Otherwise these seemsl to be a very high quality cylinder.

The propane bottle that came with my Weber grill is way past the expiration date so it was time for a replacement before the gas station guy started refusing to refill it.So far this tank has worked fine. No problems. I get almost a full season of regular grilling out of a tank. I have two so I only need refills once a year at most.Bottle seems t be of very good quality. No problems. No complaints.

I used this to make a forge, so I was not concerned with the gauge or any other issue. My main concern was if it contained any residual propane. Happily it did not. It is vacuum purged, as evident when I removed the valve (and the fact that I did not blow up). Don't cut off the upper handle assembly until after you remove the valve, as you will need to place a crow bar through it to hold the tank while you wrench off the valve.For my purpose, it was excellent. The welds were clean and could be easily cut without penetrating too far into the base metal. The only negative I could say is there was a bit more surface rust on the interior than I was expecting. The tank is formed out of about 1/8" thick steel, so it isn't easily burned through when welding. The powder coat is a real pain to get off. I used stripper, then a wire wheel, then repeated a couple times. Seemed to work the best.

I've owned many propane tanks over the years. Now that I have a duel fuel invertor/generator I want to get a new tank for backup. These sure have gone up in price since I shopped for them last. This one looks to be top-notch quality. My purge sticker says its been prepurged at the factory. It will do...

WARNING WARNING..... I ordered 3 replacement tanks. Two were fine which I would rate a 5-star. But one, which I never noticed HAD ITS INNER FILL RING MISSING AND COVERED THE WHOLE AREA IN PROPANE FILL AREA. BE CAREFUL IF YOU PURCHASE ONE OF THESE TANKS AND CHECK THE INLET FILL TO MAKE SURE THE WASHER IS THERE TO PREVENT AN EXPLOSION !!!!AMAZON SHOULD HAVE THE RESPONCEABLTY TO REPORT THIS TO CPSC AND STOP SELLING UNTIL THEIR INVENTORY IS EXHUSED AND AN INSPECTION OF THE FIRMS QUALITY CONTROL. THIS IS A POSSIBLE EXPLOSION, BURN AND DEATH HAZARD.Answer: I'm not saying these propane tanks are bad or how they work if everything is there. What I'm saying I received one WITHOUT A GASGET RUBBER RING INSIDE THE FILL NOZZLE. WITHOUT THIS RING, EITHER FILLING AND USING IT, PROPANE IS GOING EVERYWHERE BECAUSE THE RING DID NOT SEAL AND POSSIBLY EXPLODE IF A FIRE SORSE HITS THE VAPOR GAS. AND NO, YOU CANNOT RETURN IT BECAUSE OF HAZ MAT RULES.I DON'T TO SEE ANYONE GET HURT, BURNED OR KILLED. THAT'S WHY I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY AMAZON DOESN'T STOP SELLING THEM AND REPORT THIS TO THE MFG BECAUSE OF STAR RATINGS AND CPSC TO RECALL THEM. MAKE SURE YOU LOOK INTO FILL VALVE AND YOU CAN SEE A BLACK RING IN THE BACK OF THE BRASS VALVE. If IT'S THERE, you should be fine. If any gas escapes, turn it off and contact amazon. They get angry when you give low scores and rarely post them.

As usual, flame king is a very good product.

This 20 lb. propane tank is just what you'd expect, the built in quantity indicator is a great feature and the main reason I didn't just go to a local store and buy one, I've never seen one locally with the built in gauge. You can get the add-on indicators but they are about $20.00 and you need to open the tank valve to read them and depending on how it's hooked up that may not be possible. With the built in gauge it reads all of the time so you save that step. I bought this mainly for a Mr. Heater Big Buddy space heater along with the 12 ft. hose and regular and it works just fine, should save a lot of money (in time) over paying about $3.00 each for the 1 lb. disposable bottles, it cost me $12.50 to get this tank purged and filled and this tank will last as long as 20 of the one pounders, do the math.
