I agree on the safety valve if a new small tank that has one....triangular knob. Tricky getting the tank valve open on the gas grill with the stupid things, much less trying to operate a tractor on it.
Back when I had a JD 4020 LP I had a "tag along" nurse tank on wheels that you could take to the fields with you. It had a wet line that fed liquid fuel to the fuel tank. Liquid, 91k BTU/gallon was then fed to the onboard regulator from the fuel tank. I think.
Point here is that besides a valve if the tank has one, you may need to invert it to get liquid to the tractor's regulator to have enough BTU available to run the engine. It's not that the engine requires the btu to develop hp, the regulator valve in the regulator needs it to function properly.........I think.
I just looked up hp-hrs for 1 BTU and you could run 10 hp (tractor hp requirement at idle) on a (wet) gallon for 3-4 hrs.
It was my first big tractor and my first and last LP!

It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
