Somebody out there might know where you could get a valve that would allow only vapor out of those tanks. I assume their siphon tube is engineered longer to remain "under water" all the time, just like in the NOS tanks we use.

But seriously, losing the ability to cook and heat in the middle of a trip is not fun. I assume that my travel trailer has two tanks only so the second one can be used as reserve, not because people commonly use 40 lb of propane in one trip.

Your forklift tank will have a positioning hole and your tank bracket will have a positioning pin. Make sure the pin goes in the hole and you are all set. If you don't do that you could run out of gas with plenty of gas still in the tank.

Although I have never changed the tank on a forklift, I heard this is how they ensure that the cylinder is used with the right side up. This is important not only to keep the liquid outlet in the liquid, but to keep the pressure relief valve in the vapour and the gauge working (assuming that it works when horizontal).
