–Tom Martin 7/19/2020 3:37:13 PM

I recently bough from you a 20 lb. propane tank with gauge to be used with a Mosquito Magnet machine. However, a couple of days later I found out from its manufacturer that they do not recommend using a propane tank with gauge. I also found out that your web site do not advertise any 20 lb propane tank without a gauge. My question to you is, Is there any safe way to remove the gauge from the tank I bought from you? Or, Is there a way you could sale a 20 lb. propane tank without a gauge?

–Adalid Pena 6/26/2018 12:08:00 PM

Hello, Adalid! We do not sell a 20 lb. cylinder without a gauge. The gauge can easily be removed by unsnapping the plastic ring that wraps around the cylinder valve. I hope that is helpful!

How many hours of grilling does a 20lb propane tank gives?

–Dean 6/23/2018 5:31:07 PM

Hey, Dean! The answer to your question depends on how many BTUs burn per hour on your barbeque. For example, 1 pound of propane equals about 22,000 BTU; if your barbeque burns 40,000 BTUs per hour, a 20 pound cylinder will last about 10 hours with the burners turned all the way up. I hope that is helpful!

I'm in Waterloo Iowa how much does it cost to fill 20 pound propane tank at Uhaul

–Michael Delucciano 1/18/2018 9:50:44 PM

Hey, Michael! The cost would depend on the pricing of propane at the U-Haul center you choose to fill your tank at. The U-Haul Moving & Storage of Waterfalls has propane currently priced at $3.19 a gallon (which does not include tax). A 20 pound propane tank holds between 4.5 and 4.8 gallons of propane, so you could estimate the cost to fill being somewhere between $15-$20. Keep in mind that pricing per gallon of propane can vary day to day and by location. I hope that is helpful!

I have a 30 lb propane tank can I buy just the valve with the gauge built into it

–Mike 4/15/2017 7:29:49 AM

U-Haul does not sell the valve and gauge. If you were to buy a new valve and gauge for your 30 lb. cylinder, you would need to take it to a location that re-qualifies propane cylinders to change out the valve. The cylinder would have to be qualified and recorded with the DOT after the valve has been changed. We do sell a 30 lb. cylinder with a gauge. The retail price is $114.95.

–TIMOTHY 4/18/2017 3:51:42 PM

Where is the manufactured date on the tanks?

–Julie 3/7/2017 11:37:04 AM

Hi Julie. The manufactured date can be found on the outside of the collar, which is the piece of metal that surrounds the valve.

–TIMOTHY 3/7/2017 3:08:54 PM

My BBQ propane tank is stamped with the date of 01/05. Can it still be refilled?

–Elayne Kiggans 1/16/2017 8:51:21 PM

Hi Elayne. OPDGAG 01/05 needs to be re-qualified to be filled. Your cylinder is good for 10 years from the manufactured date on the tank.

–TIMOTHY 1/27/2017 7:17:20 AM

Does this tank Need to be Purged before filling?

–Ron 12/16/2016 11:48:57 AM

No. This tank is vacuum purged from the manufacturer.

How much to fill a propane tank for a barbeque grill

–se 6/22/2016 6:47:56 AM

Hello! The gauge is fixed to the tank. You will not need to do anything to the gauge or the tank to get the gauge to work. I hope that is helpful!

–SAVANNAH 6/22/2016 9:49:28 AM

Do you sell 30 lb. tanks? Can I dispose an old 30 lb. tank at U-Haul?

Is the gauge built into the tank / valve or is it a cheap add-on like some other tanks "with gauges"?

–Jeff 10/1/2015 8:31:41 AM

Jeff, the gauge is an add on but is most definitely not cheap for flimsy in any way.

–Joseph 10/1/2015 4:01:58 PM

How many gallons?

–Laura Pearson 4/20/2015 4:07:54 PM

–Ronald 2/2/2015 11:25:42 AM

Can it be tipped over to use to fill a smaller tank? I have heard newer ones have an automatic shut off when you tip them.

–Debra Snow 1/8/2015 2:19:20 PM

Our propane program manager writes: "Yes the tanks U-Haul gets from our vendors are equipped with the new overfill protection device and would shut off when it is tipped over."

–Ronald 1/9/2015 9:24:29 AM

Do you sell smaller tanks than the 20lb. Tanks.

I hang the tank on the right side of my Weber Silver B Genesis. The gauge is on the wrong side for me to read. Can it be reversed?

–Mike 8/25/2014 12:53:06 PM

"There are two clips holding the acc-gauge on to the valve, one that holds the gauge on vertically and another along the horizontal axis. At this time the way the accu-gauge is designed it cannot be flipped to fit on the other side."

–Ronald 8/25/2014 2:28:45 PM

is the plastic base the tank is sitting in included?? and if not, do you sell them?

–bill 8/9/2014 1:59:32 PM

It is not included but can be found here: http://www.uhaul.com/MovingSupplies/Safety-emergency/Tankfoot?id=3284

–Ronald 8/11/2014 11:04:42 AM

I have one of these tanks but the gauge was accidently damaged by the man filling it so it no longer works. Where or how can I get a replacement gauge?

Hey, Eric! Our 20 lb. propane tank has a float gauge. Thanks for asking!

–Savannah 7/2/2018 12:06:21 PM

I recently bough from you a 20 lb. propane tank with gauge to be used with a Mosquito Magnet machine. However, a couple of days later I found out from its manufacturer that they do not recommend using a propane tank with gauge. I also found out that your web site do not advertise any 20 lb propane tank without a gauge. My question to you is, Is there any safe way to remove the gauge from the tank I bought from you? Or, Is there a way you could sale a 20 lb. propane tank without a gauge?

–Adalid Pena 6/26/2018 12:08:00 PM

Hello, Adalid! We do not sell a 20 lb. cylinder without a gauge. The gauge can easily be removed by unsnapping the plastic ring that wraps around the cylinder valve. I hope that is helpful!

How many hours of grilling does a 20lb propane tank gives?

–Dean 6/23/2018 5:31:07 PM

Hey, Dean! The answer to your question depends on how many BTUs burn per hour on your barbeque. For example, 1 pound of propane equals about 22,000 BTU; if your barbeque burns 40,000 BTUs per hour, a 20 pound cylinder will last about 10 hours with the burners turned all the way up. I hope that is helpful!

–Savannah 6/26/2018 7:16:51 AM

will you need to purge and will that be free?

–mark wayne 6/19/2018 10:45:51 AM

I'm in Waterloo Iowa how much does it cost to fill 20 pound propane tank at Uhaul

–Michael Delucciano 1/18/2018 9:50:44 PM

Hey, Michael! The cost would depend on the pricing of propane at the U-Haul center you choose to fill your tank at. The U-Haul Moving & Storage of Waterfalls has propane currently priced at $3.19 a gallon (which does not include tax). A 20 pound propane tank holds between 4.5 and 4.8 gallons of propane, so you could estimate the cost to fill being somewhere between $15-$20. Keep in mind that pricing per gallon of propane can vary day to day and by location. I hope that is helpful!

I have a 30 lb propane tank can I buy just the valve with the gauge built into it

–Mike 4/15/2017 7:29:49 AM

U-Haul does not sell the valve and gauge. If you were to buy a new valve and gauge for your 30 lb. cylinder, you would need to take it to a location that re-qualifies propane cylinders to change out the valve. The cylinder would have to be qualified and recorded with the DOT after the valve has been changed. We do sell a 30 lb. cylinder with a gauge. The retail price is $114.95.

–TIMOTHY 4/18/2017 3:51:42 PM

Where is the manufactured date on the tanks?

–Julie 3/7/2017 11:37:04 AM

Hi Julie. The manufactured date can be found on the outside of the collar, which is the piece of metal that surrounds the valve.

Hi Elayne. OPDGAG 01/05 needs to be re-qualified to be filled. Your cylinder is good for 10 years from the manufactured date on the tank.

–TIMOTHY 1/27/2017 7:17:20 AM

Our propane program manager writes: "Yes the tanks U-Haul gets from our vendors are equipped with the new overfill protection device and would shut off when it is tipped over."

I hang the tank on the right side of my Weber Silver B Genesis. The gauge is on the wrong side for me to read. Can it be reversed?

–Mike 8/25/2014 12:53:06 PM

"There are two clips holding the acc-gauge on to the valve, one that holds the gauge on vertically and another along the horizontal axis. At this time the way the accu-gauge is designed it cannot be flipped to fit on the other side."

–Ronald 8/25/2014 2:28:45 PM
