ML>hunh? no... not that i know of... i take a 20lb bottle and connect it to a
ML>300gal torpedo tank just like you'd have outside your house and connect the
ML>line from the top of the tank to the top of the 20gal... open the bleeder va
ML>on the 20lb'er and open the valve on the 300gal... when i get a steady strea
ML>of gas (looks like steam but very cold) out of the bleeder valve, i shut off
ML>the bleeder on the 20lb'er and the valve on the 300gal tank... disconnect th
ML>line and pick up 20lbs of fuel... shake it about and it is liquid inside...
ML>shakes and feels like it... burns like it and lasts just as long as if i had
ML>taken it to a fill station and paid at least twice as much for it...

 Only if the tank has a Bottom Feed tube will that work.

Typicaly the tanks for Home use for Heating/Cooking use the GAS off the
 top of the tank.
Typicaly, Depending on the Temperature differential between the two
Tanks, the transfer of 20 pounds of Propane as a gas could take up to 24
Hours according to information on the Internet.
