Like I said, the proper method is to get the tank regulator set up.
Remember when folks had the two propane tanks for the kitchen stove?
That is the set up you want. Has the isolation check valves built in.
Yes, you can even disconnect a tank to change while the other is in use.

Heh.  You just can't win on this list.  A while back someone was ranting
about how unsafe it was to connect two tanks before the regulators, and
saying how you should only connect them together downstream of the
regulators.
