Fill 20 pound propane tanks? Go to the local dump, pick up half a dozen timed out empty tanks, lay your hundo on its side, on a table, preferably, and get one of those fill fittings for the 20 pounders.

Saying all that, I have NO Idea if that could work. The propane tank that fills those 20 pounders has a pump that physically moves the propane. I suspect that gravity could work...

That will not work. Once the pressure builds enough in the 20 pounder it won’t flow. Plus, liquid propane is -40 degrees. Perhaps call your local fire department to se if they could do a controlled burn?

You just open the vent screw until it spits liquid. Need some heavy gloves to avoid frostbite.

That's sounding like the most realistic option as long as I could get someone professional/who knows what they're doing to help rig something up.

That's kind of what I was hoping to find: if anyone knows of any certified gas workers that would be willing to work with my situation. Because the big companies are no help.
