I've decided to go ahead and get the 120 pound tank. More than I would like to spend, but I think I would have more peace of mind when it gets very cold.

did you mean to say,,120 GALLON???
no doubt he meant 120 gallon.
Futher research via google revealed you are probably right in the boil off, loss of pressure. I have never seen or heard of anyone having problems like that around here. 35 miles north of me is Leadville at 10,200 ft. Maybe not many people run small tanks, or they ain't tried to light the bbq in January.
I do like the idea of wrapping a heat tape to it.
Now you giving me idea.... I think I could hook a pressure gauge to the tank and watch it this winter while the furnace is cranking!

Often times on boilers, pressure vessels etc. you find a valve, and a curly piece of pipe before the gauge. So that you can turn off and swap things out!
Interesting....
oly, you are a brave man. un corking a propane tank seems silly but you are correct there isnt a lot of danger, and the task doesn't take long.
I am quite sure you did not have any point of ignition within a reasonable distance! :angry2:
