It will not work at that point because it needs to be in before the
regulator.  The bend in the pipe is after that.

The barbecue tank I bought is 2.5 gal because that's all I could comfortably
fit in the van and I felt that would nearly double my present capacity of 3
gal.

If you have a pinched copper line, I`d plumb in the other tank right there,
as a pinched line is a
weak point and may leak.  I`d do it their way,  but I`m no  expert.

are you planning on a 20 lb BBQ tank or other size & why?   M
