Should I use fuel filter when using larger 20lb propane tank (over 1lb)

I have not needed a filter and I use only 20lb tanks. Just use the provided hose and it'll be fine.

No, not needed. I've never heard of using a fuel filter for propane powered appliances like stoves oe lamps or BBQ. It might be a concideration when using propane as a liquid fuel, but when using it as a vapor the fuel doesn't carry impurities.

Yes I would most bottles and refills are very clean but it is always better to be safe, I run filters on everything I have to include my N2O system in my car.

The one pound disposable canisters are expensive by volume, and wasteful in general. I picked up a 4 foot adapter hose and bought a 5 and 11 pound refillable container. You can use the regular 20 pounders, but the little guys are easier if my wife wants to lug one around. We use it to grill on the patio quite often, and that 11 pound tank lasts most of the summer.

Yes. I don't even use the small ones anymore unless the 20lb one runs empty on me. It's a little tricky for me to get hose hooked up. I don't if the 1lb tanks get filled up or not. Never used them at the same time as the 20lber

It should be ok..that filter is up to 40g.... That thing should keep your tank pretty clean. Plus you can adjust the flow so your not creating a whirlpool inside the small tank. IMO I'd upgrade to at least a 20 or 30 gallon... Hope I helped!!

I use a 20 lb cylinder with a connecting hose because it is only used on my patio. If you travel with it a 1 lb canister is much more convenient.

Hector, the answer by B.B.Waters is correct. The filter is ONLY NEEDED in high pressure HOSE (Like the F273702 Hose) operations where you feed high pressure gas from a larger cylinder to the 1# canister connection on the heater. Doing that, the filter will fit inside the canister compartment OK.Again, you DO NOT need the filter when using 1# propane canisters.

This heater requires at least a 100 pound propane tank for use. It cannot be used with a 20 lb. BBQ tank.

No you can not use a 20lb tank. We live in a condo and we love it. A one pound tank works great for us.

I actually purchased a Propane Tank Fill Adapter that I use to refill from a 20lb tank.It refills my 1lb tanks in about a min. Then I just go change out my 20lb tank at the local hardware store

Tis does not directly answer your question, but I bought and used a 20 lb. tank and had no problems. I never used a small gas canister. I'd suggest asking a gas supplier for ideas on how to correct the problem.

Both the people I know who actually own this grill have gotten themselves the adapter (with hose) that lets you use refillable "20 pound" (and other sizes) propane tanks. There is plenty of room on the bottom rack for a tank this size. This way only the fairly compact (and flexible) hose is dangling from the connection port behind the timer. (And, by the way, WHY did they make timer only capable of 99 minutes time?)

Unless you have a different model, the attachment should allow for male threaded side of the filter to screw into. There is a short stem protruding, but that slides inside the center of the threaded male side of the filter. A hose with a male swivel end will screw into the other side of the filter and go on to the 20 pound tank.

I am currently using my weber grill with the 20lb tank size. I bought an adapter hose that allows me to use the big 20lb tank and I can also use the small portable Coleman bottles. Go to your local hardware store and get an adapter hose. I did not modify my grill.

I am using the standard grill tank. I can't see why you couldn't use the 40# tank if the connections matched. The only time you are using propane is when you are using hot water. Depending upon your application a 20# tank might be large enough. It certainly is for me.

You can use the 14 oz or 16oz propane canisters that are available at most hardware stores, home centers (lowes, Depot), Mass merchants (WalMart, Target, Kmart, etc.) or sporting goods stores (Dicks, Sports Authority, Academy). IN addition you can purchase a conversion hose which you can connect directly to a 20lb propane tank (the ones that all big grills use.

r. heater has a regulator in it. You hook your long hose to the place you hook the 1 lb. bottle. That is a regulator. That is if you want the 20 lb. grill bottle. Check what your hose is made of as far as filter. Certain hoses don't need a filter because don't make those hoses with a certain chemical in it that degrades. I bought one that doesn't need a filter. It is a little stiffer in the cold but I don't worry about it fowling.

Buy a good adapter here and refill your 1lb tanks from a 20 or larger tank. No need for a hose, regulator, filter, or paying $3 a tank. Many places online tell you how to safely do it.
