Not true. A 20 pound tank is designed to legally hold 20 pounds of propane. If it could only hold 16 pounds, it would be called... well, a 16 pound tank. But it dont so it isnt, its called a 20 pounder because it holds 20 pounds.

While the "new" OPD valves have fogged the issue by sometimes not allowing the correct amount of propane in a tank, the truth is on the collar of the tank. Along with manufactor date, there are a bunch of other stampings. TW is the important one, refering to Tare Weight. WW is also important, showing the total amount of water weight that can fit in the tank. Bottom line, the tanks hold 20 pounds of propane...
