We are about to fill our propane tank for the first time since we bought the GMC. We removed the tank, stripped it, painted it and reinstalled it. The tank has some propane in it as we could feel and hear it sloshing around in it when handling it. We will also be checking all the lines and appliances (stove, oven and furnace) once we get some fresh propane in the tank. PO said furnace worked great.
The operation manual on pages 94 & 95 mentions adding methyl alcohol when having the tank filled to help get rid of any moisture in the tank and lines. We've called several RV places that fill tanks and they either haven't heard of such a thing or say they don't do it.
Is this something we don't have to worry about? Are there additives in the propane now-a-days that do this automatically? Is the propane today better than what it was 35 years ago? This is our first experience with propane.
Thanks to everyone, you always have the answers!
