Subject:Re: Correct Way to Purge New Propane Tank?
From:Poppie Jagersand

For what it's worth, after changing the gas valve 10 years ago
my tank was not purged by one of the two earthlink procedures.
It was just filled up and over a number of usage cycles the
remaining air in the tank would go out.
