I have 2 propane tanks for the grill that I wanted to bring when we move. Moving company won't take them, which I get. I'm wondering if there is a saf

way to transport them in the car.

Would it be safe if I made sure they were empty? One is full so I'd have to let the grill run half the night.

Samsung has a box for that. -- nm - Mop Oct 11, 19:57
I would rather have those in my car than a Galaxy Note 7 - Bacon Oct 11, 19:28 1

I'm paranoid about stuff like that so id sell them there and buy new ones in TN. - iSpam Oct 11, 19:19
I moved mine in the car with no issue. Are you driving straight through? - TWuG Oct 11, 18:57 5
- Yeah, I've never thought about that. When I pick them up from Home Depot I just throw them on the back seat. -- nm - Meg Oct 11, 19:15 1
  - But on googling "transporting propane cylinders" I'd go with the folk who say turn them in and buy new when you get there. -- nm - Meg Oct 11, 19:43
- Yeah, straight through. They'll be in my trunk all day, as I have the closing in the morning. Leaving immediately after. - kelly Oct 11, 19:06 2
  - The main thing is not to take any Galaxy Note 7s with you. -- nm - Qale Oct 11, 19:08 1
    - Or on the flip side, use one to cinch the wires together. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 11, 19:08
Strap them to the roof with a bunch of wires -- nm - Beryllium Oct 11, 18:52 1
- Tie them to the trailer hitch and paint Just Moving on the back window. -- nm - Irish Stephen Oct 11, 18:53
If so, cover them with a tarp or something flame resistant. Put in the trunk. Ziploc or tape around the nozzles. -- nm - budice Oct 11, 18:50
Too bad there isn't an easy way to sell them back to a retailer and just get new ones here. We don't allow empties in the store, so they must be - Qale Oct 11, 18:48 3
- I think it's more that if there was a fire for other reasons they're likely to explode. Most places have a 'cage' outside the store where they - Meg Oct 11, 19:18 2
  - Those cages with exchange tanks seem like a national franchise, see if you can find a phone/email contact and see if you can turn two in here, pick up - zeitgeist Oct 11, 20:47 1
    - Or ask Lowes/home depot as both have them and they are everywhere -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 11, 20:51
