Extra Propane Tank
Gas fireplaces - are they really that economical?
Hi!
We're looking to build a home, and one of the options is a propane gas fireplace for about four thousand dollars extra. I've chatted with the neighbors, and the cost of filling the propane tank every winter has gone up quite a bit in our area, so I'm trying to cut heating costs, as the heat pump is the only appliance in the house that uses gas. Do people typically save much money with a gas fireplace? Are they really all that economical?
For the record, energy savings are what I'm most interested in, not the aesthetics, so any answers related to the economical value would be most appreciated 
They aren't economical at all, especially for $4K installed! I mean, perhaps if you were going to turn the heat way down in the rest of the house and just live in that one room it might work out, but you probably don't want to do that. You don't mention where you live, but heat pumps can be very economical.
I filled a liquid propane cylinder from a forklift LP tank

Can you use propane tanks to store other gases, for example?
hydrogen gas. Is there any extra precaution I should take in filling the tank, what prssure would be needed to fill it.
Propane tanks are only rated for about 300 psi, will not hold much hydrogen. Better to use a high pressure tank designed for hydrogen.
Also, probably not legal to use for other than propane - check laws before you try it.
