Can Two Propane Tanks Be Tee'd Together Before The Regulator
Question:
I have a 2008 Fuzion. There are 3 propane tanks 2 - 20gal tanks in a front compartment, these are hooked up to a 2 stage regulator. There is a larger 30 gal tank in a compartment on the side of the camper, this is not hooked up. There is a hole cut in the divide walls that a hose will fit through so that it can be hooked up. Is there a T or Y splitter that can be attached to one side of the regulator so I can run two hoses? And also .... is this a safe method of being able to use the 3rd tank.

Expert Reply:
No, if you put two tanks together on the same line before the regulator you would run the risk of one tank backfeeding into the other tank and could overfill one tank, which would be extremely dangerous. If you wanted to use the third tank as a back up you would just need to remove the hose of one of the other two tanks from the regulator and use a hose like the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay Propane Fill Hose # 100019-60 to connect the regulator # CAM59005 inlet.
