Answer 3

the weight depends on the cannister.... but it is ALWAYS stamped on the coller... around the top of the tank...... it will prob.. say "t.w" that means tareweight.. ( if i remembercorrectly..... but that number is .. how mant lbs it is empty

Answer 4

Smaller propane tanks such as a 40# tank refer to the amount of propane it will hold. A 20# tank holds 20#'s a 40# tank hold 40#'s ect. The empty weight of the tank is located on the collar and is marked as T.W (tare weight). You can add 40 to that number and that is the tanks full weight. If you need to know how much propane is in the tank take the total current weight of the tank subtract the empty weight (T.W) from that and divided that number by 4.125 which is the weight per gallon of propane.

Read the TARE weight stamped on the tank. TARE is the empty weight.
