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. After refilling the tank, employees use the hoist to replace the filled lift truck tank on the lift truck.I know its an old thread but I thought if I found it someone else looking for it would to. The boom is used to move the tank away from the truck, and then lower the tank to the ground for filling. Employees disconnect the fuel hose and strap, which secures the tank to the lift truck, engage the tongs and raise the tank to clear the tank cradle. The boom has a chain with tongs on the end to grasp the lift truck tank. To enable employees to refill the lift truck tanks, the company installed a manual chain hoist with a 400 lb capacity on a boom that moves through a 280° arc. ![]() The company was concerned that employees, who vary in size, height, and physical capability, would be put at risk of strains or other injury from lifting and maneuvering full truck tanks back into position on the powered lift trucks. ![]() When full, the 7 or 10 gallon lift truck tanks weigh 45 to 65 lbs, and employees had to lift the full tank back into the lift truck tank cradle (a height of between 48 to 58 inches). As a precaution against potential fire hazards that may be posed by filling a tank while it is mounted on a hot lift truck, employees had to remove the tanks from the lift trucks to refill them. The company uses a 1,500 gallon bulk liquid propane tank to refill the 7 or 10 gallon lift truck tanks. ![]() The company has 12 propane powered lift trucks, each with either a 7 or 10 gallon liquid propane tank mounted on the rear of the truck. The company installed a manual chain and hoist lift to facilitate removing and replacing the liquid propane fuel tanks from its lift trucks.
