What I'm thinking about doing is setting up a vapor pump to create a pressure differential. I've got a Tecumseh A/C compressor off a ford van that I think will do the job. It's a cast iron reciprocating pump with two cylinders and since it's designed to handle A/C system pressure it should easily handle LP pressure. The important feature is that is has it's own seperate oil resevoir. It will just take a little finagaling to get the fittings worked out. Shouldn't take much running of it after the tanks have equalized to get the tank to top off.

That's what got me to thinking about using a vapor pump. Filling those 1000 gallon tanks to 85% seemed to take forever though!
We had lots of safety equipment, such as an on/off switch on the pump. Also legs, to run away if something bad happened!
