If the tank is empty you can turn it upside down and open the vapor valve. What makes you think there is water in your recovery tank?
I believe I have water in my recovery tank. Anyone know how to verify and/or get rid of it?
LOL, didn't learn much from the first banning?
The only way I know is visual inspection. Chill the tank down below 32 degree F, transfer the butane to another tank and remove the plug for the fill cut off switch if you have one. Other wise you need to remove the valve assembly. Not fun but the only way to be 100% sure.
Had to do it twice in the last year or so.
You had to remove the valve assembly to discharge moisture? What did you do once the valve assembly was off?
Have you tried the upside down open vapor valve before?
What size column is that? Also am I just imagining things or does it look modified...Ups finally found me lol. Can hardly wait to play with the big boys,need a few more bits. soon come. Thanks for all the info folks.....
Once I suspected that I had moisture in the tank I wanted to verify that there was not corrosion inside, so I froze the tank, removed the butane and took it apart. I cleaned the tank out, verified that the liner inside still looked good and re-installed the valve assembly.

Hole on the left is for valve and hole on the right is for tank over fill.
Just tape 'em up good and leak test the tank before putting into use.
I've never tried the invert and blast.
But every six months I do drain my tanks and check that the tare weight is still spot on before I take it apart.
I suppose that it is possible to transfer water when you recover the butane from one tank to another, but I put a fresh water filter trap inline before starting.

I just crack it open and stop opening as soon as I see pressure start to go up. I figure this way its a small stream of 'tane. Even if the tane slowly dribbles down, the bottleneck is recovery pump so imo there is no point in fully opening it.Quite a few posts back there was discussion on how slowly to open the 2 and 4 valves for the final dump. How slowly is best to open these valves, do you do it by pressure and wait for a certain pressure orvac to keep opening them?
During floods should valve 2 be opened slowly as well?
