Lenny: Since there's a regulator at the tank, I suspect the instruction to always turn off the tank valve has more to do with the possibility of a squirrel or some other varmint chewing a hole in your hose than anything else. I think liquid propane is at about -40 whatever the outside temperature might be. IN fact, one of the roustabouts we employed once accidentally squirted himself with liquid propane while filling a tank and sued us for loss of manhood because he dclaimed to have temporarily frozen his testicles. He lost the suit, but did get a workman's comp claim out of the deal.
