If I am correct these are a 20 lb. tank, but if not please correct me. They are the same typical size you see on forklifts. I was wondering if anyone knew the capacity of these, in gallons ? I brought one in for re-fill yesterday and it registered 6 gallons, I thought they might hold a little more than 6, but I have no way of knowing, I'll look on the tank and see if any info is there ( they were new mfr. a few years ago ).
The relief valve was open and usually when the vapor starts to come out, it's full, sometimes it sputters a bit, but once you have a steady flow, it should be full, not the case yesterday at the filling station. I did run it until it was empty and hardly any pressure in this tank, last time mowing, not much pressure when I opened the relief valve. Not to overfill or be a pain to the supplier, but I'd like to be sure, that I'm getting my $20 worth, it certainly runs and is much better on fuel ( a Ford 850 LP ) since I re-built the vaporizer and replaced the safety valve. Seems to run longer ( had a leak ) and I don't have to switch to the spare I keep full as often, nice to have at least 2 tanks in rotation.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
