Hi. Here is a question for the propane experts out there. We have been cleaning up my grandfathers cottage since he passed in June. In amongst the junk are 4 large propane tanks. They have been there at least 25 years (my whole life). They look like the next size up from the 100lb. tanks. No dents, dings or corrosion. I have handled propane and propane appliances before, but have no way of knowing if:
1. They are full or empty
2. Safe to use. Even cracking them open to check, could I accidentally vent them or blow off an old crumbly valve (I have not checked this yet as it is winter)
3. Assuming they are full and safe to use (with an adapter) is there anything else I should know before I attempt to move/dispose/use them?
Thanks!
