Does this cylinder require purging before getting it filled?

I bought this tank locally and it did not require purging. The attendant said most new tanks come pre-purged now. The manufacturing date on my tank was 7-13.

yes, all propane tanks should be purged first.but where-ever you are taking it to get it filled, they should do thatand know that with new tank.

YES. Any NEW, UNUSED, cylinder must be purged. This involves connecting a vacuum pump to the cylinder to remove any air and moisture that may be in the new cylinder. Mine was purged by the RV center in town here and then they filled the cylinder for me. Most places that refill cylinders should be able to do the purging.

Yes, but I had the cylinder filled at U-Haul and the guy did it easily. The cylinder works great. Not too heavy to handle and portable enough for the Webber Q-100 I use it with.

Yes, there is a reservoir so you need to make sure that it is completely empty before replacing with a new bottle.

Yes, it comes with cleaning instructions and yes, it is necessary to buy a cleaner/descaler. The instruction booklet says to descale it once a month or every 30 gallons.

Not at all. Click the button above the canister to remove it, push the button on the canister to empty it. What kind of problem do you have?

No, the dirt will stay contained in the tube via a flapper. You can use it numerous times before you have to empty it.

My new tank (received 2-16) was not purged. Had a sticker on the valve requiring purging before use. The comment by Flame King saying "all their tanks come purged" is a complete lie.

Sorry but I haven't cleaned it. I just turn it upside down and dump anything left in it out before I fill it up.

There is nothing to remove. Make sure the opening is slid open as that is that part you pull to close when disposing. You should be good to go from there. I hope this helped!

I never considered purging it! Mine has been filled, emptied and refilled multiple times with NO issues!Blessings, Jim Henderson

No there's a holding tank with a valve on it that can be emptied later. See manufacturer's website for more info.

I am not aware of that need to purge the tank,I just plugged it in and filled it with 30 litres of gas and used it on my forklift.The quanity of fill is to avoid over filling the tank as a safety measure.

No..you are laying down the cleaning solution and then just sucking it up. You may want to go back later anddo a complete rinse if you think it is necessary.

You don't have to remove it just to fill it. I only remove it once an awhile to deep clean it.
