propane limit 100# tank
I have a 100 lb tank from open source steel that can hold 100 lbs of butane and be 80% full. If I switch to propane can I still fill it to a 100 lbs and be safe? The kid at Open Source Steel said yes but didn't sound confident in his assertion. Second opinion anyone?

Propane should be just over 8 grams per cubic inch. Butane is about damn close to 10 g/in^3.

I would double check the rated capacity versus actual capacity, because 100# capacity is typically based on water and butane has a specific gravity of .601, with propane at .585.
As LPG tanks can only be filled to 80% capacity, that means the 100# tank holds 80# of water, 48 lbs of butane, or 46.8 lbs propane.

It would hold exactly the same amount of propane, but would only weigh 97.3#.
