33.5 LB propane tank question

Post by ArtCox » Sat Dec 10, 2011 8:48 pm

I was given a huge propane tank, holds 33.5 lbs. or 8 gal. of propane. Problem being, I can't incorporate it into my brew set up because it is a fuel tank off a fork lift and the fitting is 1 7/16" and a standard is 1 5/16".
Does anyone know if there is a reducer, coupler or some way of hooking a standard propane burner connection up to this tank?

Thanks,

I did see someone cut the gas line from there gas grill and cut one from there fork truck and reconnect them with a copper tubing and some hose clamps.

That might be the redneck way.

Or look if you can take a 3/4 ratchet on the inside of the gas line to unscrew it from a old gas line and switch them.

we used propane torch at work to dry brick and one of them got the hose burnt. (how did that happen???) I fixed it with a double barbed fitting and two hose clamps I got at rural king
