bypass 500gal. propane tank to smaller one

[perry]

Right now I have a 500gal LP tank for the house can i hook up a smaller tank to run just the Hot water heater for the summer ?

Yes, you can, but I suppose the question that needs to be asked is WHY?
You already have a properly functioning leak-proof supply, & if it ain't
broke, don't fix it.

DAKSY summed that up well. Reconsider what you are contemplating here.

Who owns the existing propane equipment ? What other appliances or equipment are you going to bypass by doing this ?

I was in the propane business many years. More details ? Can I assume this is a split system due to the tank being located away from the house ? Do you have a regulator on the tank and a second regulator at the house ?

Want a portable tank i can get filled. Just need some propane to run my hot water tank and Don't want to pay big $ for a truck delivery right now .

If you tell me who owns the 500 gallon set up I can tell you more. If you do not own the 500 gallon set up issues exist you need to be aware of before you touch anything.
