Frozen batteries should be pretty unusual. It means they've been dead flat for a long time. A normally charged battery won't freeze, at least not at the temperatures we're talking about around here.
I personally keep a float charger on everything with a battery if it isn't used daily.

Float chargers are cheaper than batteries.
And way less expensive than life I use up trying to change one now. Some are frigging impossible to get at!

We are experiencing frozen propane in the tanks...

Hi.
I would suggest you read 1st post to get the vibe... we are very protective of it and have set some guidelines we hold eachother accountable too.
1. No religion proslitizing
2. No current events
3. No politics
4. Dont hit on the women

This is not a thread to get a hook up. We r like the bar cheers or a local pub where we talk about anything and everything. We support the ups and downs of life.... THIS IS NOT A HOOK UP THREAD. This place is special and unique and we want to keep it that way.
So welcome.... if is to your liking read back 7 or 8 pages and get the flow.
I will add something else....
- dont dm people without reading profile---- it wont be pretty
- dont come in hot with the innuendo. U will see it but we dont know you and it wont be taken as funny--- so get to know the folks in here before you joke around

You left out the part about crushing testicles.

Hey Lee. Best thing is to read post 1.

This is a good group but we got some standards!

No POLITICS, drama and religion.

No hitting on the ladies here.

Just blend in and build rapport and go from there.

You, too, left out the part about crushing testicles.

Please make a note of it.

Noooooo… I stay with Gail and she “does” a good tart. She does it especially for me! Serves it warm and I love it with cream… really tasty!

Umm humm, cream on her warm tart.

British Gentleman my Yankee ass!!!

I'm turning 72 this month
i feel as old as it sounds

Happy birthday early.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Many things....

Makes me think of calling in the air strike.

I loved that scene outta Windtalkers where they called in the battleship. That'll damn sure alter a feller's attitude and outlook on Life . . . .

 

[Dirtygirlndeer]

One of my favorites.

We are experiencing frozen propane in the tanks...

Propane tank is undersized for the application. Propane needs to boil in the tank to keep pressure up. There isn't enough surface area to allow heat into the tank from the cold air (yes, it does still flow into the tank) to make propane gas.

A bigger tank, or multiple tanks ganged together would help.

Propane boils at -44F...

Is it a Boyle's law issue?

I looked it up..... it freezes at something like -300

Good one! I know her.

She might be friends with Stacee and Diedre

Is it a Boyle's law issue?

Maybe more about the latent heat of vaporization. Boyle's law is about pressure in a closed container. But I believe there are not simultaneously two phases gas in that container. In this case there are both liquid and vapor propane. Energy is needed to turn liquid propane into vapor propane...

Or so I've been told!

Moving electrons are more my thing.

[likes2watchU]

Yeah. I sort of caught up.

But it’s time to finish my workout, shower and get to corporate Zombieland.

Happy Tuesday all!!

Woo-hoo! I'm only 12 hours behind

Hope the zombies weren't too hungry today

Problem being even though the propane is a gas and liquid, the gas has also frozen turning it into a solid.Just like the liquid is frozen

Pretty sure it isn't frozen in the tank.

Tanks can get ice on them due to the tank dropping below the dew point of water, even in dry cold air.

Shake the tank, bet you'll find liquid in there.

Unless I'm missing something major about thermodynamics and vapor pressures. It's possible, but I'm still betting on liquid. Maybe bitching cold liquid, but still...

Then again, my background is playing with electrons.

Frozen. 20 pound and 60 pound cylinders.
