Good work Andy. I picked up another mostly full bottle of lpg yesterday about 200m from my house. It was sitting in a bush in a front garden for months. Plainly visible so I knocked on the door and asked. My cooking is taken care of well into the future. City life!
That's basically how we used to fill small refrigerant bottles from bigger bottles, usually a bucket or two of hot water over the big bottle gave sufficient pressure difference to move the gas to the small bottle.
Good to hear from you and thanks for your application. Things get forgotten and it shows that there lessons to be learnt from others. Buckets of hot water, brilliant, cheers
Barn door engineering at its best. I understand exactly what you've done however I had to have a chuckle when you mentioned Liquid Gas. We know what you mean. :-) Good to see you using some basic physics to achieve a result. One thing to consider is the heat exchange effect when liquids both flow and change density. To be honest, one could light a small fire under the supply tank to keep the flowing gas warmer. Risky but doable in a pinch.
Heavydiesel says a couple of buckets of hot water will get the liquid moving, for me I was thinking when the sun is on the panels then a hot air gun. I figure it's a job saved for the right weather in summer, cheers
I transfer propane lots, by far the best way to do it is to put your receiving tank in a chest freezer, chill it down to minus 20 degrees C, then connect to your warm donor cylinder, transfer 10kg in two minutes!
Hi, good to hear from yourself, the ebike is fine, few little mods but it's a handy local run around. The tip from Heavydiesel works well, dump a bucket off hot water over the supply tank, I then covered it with an old blanket. It really gets the liquid moving, cheers
One thing that confuses me to no end is why people call it liquid propane gas. Why not just call it liquid propane or gaseous propane? I got a question wrong on a test because if that wording.
Eric, exactly, but as I see it not that many people now deal with bottled gas. So a description could be propane gas, fair enough, so to take this further for the uninitiated calling it liquid propane gas is a description rather than the name liquefied propane. I know what you mean but I trying to get the idea over, cheers
The propane is technically both: the propane boils until it is at its maximum pressure for that temperature, forming a layer of gas. The remainder of the propane stays liquid.
Always something interesting from you Andy
Hi, I'm on a roll at the moment, cheers
Physics and Chemistry combined with common sence to achieve the end result and also save our planet. Thanks for the video Andy.
Hi, it has avoided waste and kept out overheads lower, cheers

Owen, fuel security, you can't beat it, people used to prepare for winter, apples and spuds in store, jam and pickles, woodshed full. cheers

@@TheInfoworks Yes, agree. I use hot water to get little propane canisters to flow. It works and then it gets cold.

Thanks for the interesting tip, makes sense, cheers
Backyard science! 👍
Great bodging and safety precautions.
Btw: how's the ebike getting on? 😊👍
