Hi,The only way that would be practical to use out of the truck bed would be with a FloJet RV waste pump. Leave the tank in the bed of your truck and pump the waste into it. This 42 gallon tank weighs around 360 pounds when full. The only other way would be to winch it up into the bed using ramps which could get away from you. You do not want that bomb to pop on you.

I just start from the back and folding forward. This way when recovering, just drop on front of car and run it to the back. It is a bit heavy to me a small woman, but works well keeping vehicle dry. Hope this helps. Good luck

We have not tried taking ours to the filling station so far, we have used smaller containers to full it then pump the fuel into it. We thought that might be too heavy and difficult to handle. Look luck.

I just talked to my husband and he suggested you contact camp chef.It would need to be jetted for natural gas.

I still have the tank. The dimensions are the tank itself. Expansion of diesel ( that's what I put in mine) even when half full will still release at the cap and cause some diesel to "spit" out. Other than that, works well for me.

Fill the tank up to the fill line. Plug up and let it fun doe 15 mins and enjoy. Hope this help

there is a cheap in the rear side of tanks similar to what you can find in credit cards with two round pads. In order to reset the cheap you need to short circuit these pads by a conductor for example a forceps.

After removing the fill pipe. I used a porta band saw to cut a section out of the fill. A hack saw might work, a saw zaw with a metal blade would work. The time to remove the tube complete is very important as you want to clean all metal shavings then reinstall. This will take a bit of time but your trucks worth it. So is the ability to not have to fill up every couple hundred miles. I now enjoy a thousand mile turn around on fill's. If I can help further, e-mail questions to dozer327@yahoo.com V/R

I just read John Moore's answer and that actually might be the best way, at least if your cleanout is upstream of the blockage. Pour the stuff in dry and let the next flush expand the product, and carry it toward the blockage. Just guessing here.

They have empty and full. The item in the link is for a full. I bought the empty and took it to the local gas dealer and swapped it for a full one with no hassles. I didn't see the benefit of paying to ship a full tank because when you refill it you have to swap it out anyway.

They're delivered empty. Full they weigh something like 300#, so it's a good thing. I get mine filled locally at a large hardware store, but there are a few gas stations and lots of U-haul locations will fill 100# cylinders. One thing to bear in mind is that most places will only fill if you can transport the tank in an upright position, strapped in the bed of a full size pickup, for example. My local hardware store charges a bit more than U-haul, but they don't take issue with me leaving with in on it's side in the bed of my Tacoma, which has a cap and is obviously too low to load upright.

You can get a hose that let's you hook it up to a BBQ tank, but I find the small tanks much more convenient. You can get an adaptor to refill your small tanks off of your BBQ tank. Works for me.

I just went out and measured for this guy...from the cement floor to bottom of blue tank is only four inches! My husband and neighbor both say it's not worth taking the wheels off. He must really be strapped for space! He does realize how awkward it would be to get to the dumping station? Those tanks are heavy empty...let alone having one full!!! Oh, well! Happy camping!!!!

They are delivered empty. You call your local propane companies and ask which one of them fills the bbq tanks and ask them their rates. Local companies can vary quite a bit on their refill prices. Then you just drive right up to their refill location and they do the rest. Be sure you secure the tanks upright and drive safe back home!

We use ours in the bed of a full size Chevy pickupIt fits between wheel wellsWe don't have any problem getting the air out, you just have to roll it up twice. Roll it up once and put the caps on. Then unroll it with the still on. Take one or two caps back off after you have it rolled most of the way up and the remaining air is at one end.It only takes a few minutes, and it fits in the stuff sack that came with it with room to spare.

Leave it attached to the tank so that it's readily available to use if you need it. You can store it out of the way until you need it again. Maybe in a top corner of the tank.

Move your tank ... room is too hot .Over kill for that small of a tank ..Put it in cooler room and put a small cooling fan on it.
