In Reply to: LP tractor owners..... posted by CenTexFarmall on February 24, 2008 at 19:53:30:
I have 5 lp tractors and 2 trucks on lp and I use a hand transfer pump to fill my trucks and tractors. It works great except it takes a while to fill the 40 gal. tank on my truck. When its cold out that's not much fun. I bought the pump at our local Co-op that sells lp for about $375.00. I had a hose made and I use it to bleed off the tank pressure from my tractor/truck tank back to my fill tank. Once you equalize the tank pressures on the vapor side, lp will transfer real easy, with very little loss of fuel. Even if you are bleeding off your tanks to fill them. A vapor bleed off hose will help you keep from losing allot of fuel from bleeding of the excess tank pressure when filling. Especially if your tank is hot and has allot of pressure in it. Of course the easiest way is to run the tank completely empty, but you will need a secondary tank to get you back to your fill tank, I have 2 tanks on a couple of my tractors that I use when I am far from my fill tank. This saves me allot of time when you are far from home. I have since them set up my truck to where I can transfer some lp from my truck to my tractors if I should run out in the field which is extremely handy as well. In the summer time you can hook up your fill hose and bleed the tank off to the point where it starts to fill with propane and shut the bleeder and leave it over night and your tank will fill up as the tank cools. Your fill tank needs to be at least 30-40% for this to work. It will fill all the way up. Let me know if I can help you with anything else Hal
