Irving’s full of something for sure.

90% in your tank is 108 gallons or 453 pounds of LP, plus a tare weight of 290 pounds. For a total of less than 750 pounds.

You can safely shut off and disconnect the tank, roll it where ever you want and stand it back up (usually takes two people when full).

I have no stake in this, just a curious homeowner interested in safety. Two comments up, somebody said to never tip the tank on its side. Your comment and my own experience with propane tanks say that's not a concern. Are there certain tanks you can roll and ones you can't?

You can safely tip it over, but don’t leave it on its side long term.

You want the relief valve to be in the vapor space in case of an over pressure.

DO NOT “ROLL” the tank. Under no circumstances should it be put on its side. Please call a professional.
