Think I had this in the wrong section before.
I am now using a 100 gallon sattelite propane tank for cook stove and water, since I’m heating with pellets. I don't need to fill the 500 gallon primary anymore. I ran the line directly from the tank to the outside house regulator. I am now thinking this was probably a bad idea due to the pressure being put on that 1/2 in copper line coming off the tank. Do I need a regulator before the line also? On my 500 gal tank, which I no longer use, there is like an 1/8th inch line coming off the tank to the regulator then 1/2" going to the house regulator. Will the 1/2" copper hold up to the pressure from the 100 gallon sattelite LP tank? IT has so far and I did this one season a few years ago and all was well but am I sitting on a time bomb?
