Would this pack be able to carry a full 20 lb propane cylinder, i.e., be able to hold the tank stable without shifting, secure it, weight, etc?

Absolutely, with ease and aplomb. ... It comes with 3 extension straps that are perfectly designed to wrap around rather large objects. ... Even IF those straps were not long enough (but they surely are) then, worst case, you could just pick up some inexpensive ratchet-straps, from Harbor Freight. ... You can carry buckets, jerry-cans, duffels, or even a car battery. I also purchased an extra large waist-strap but I found that the regular strap is PLENTY girthy, for just about anybody.

Securing it is a matter of having enough straps and padding. Blankets and stuff bags and such around the tank would keep it from shifting. Straps and paracord would hold the tank fine and the weight is less than a deer, which the frame is meant to carry. I have not carried a load that big on my frame, but my son has carried it with a plastic trash can full of tools and a chain saw for camp maintenance and had no problems. Will the propane tank fit in a plastic milk crate?

If you're planning on using this for tanks and weight belts I don't think it's sturdy enough. I don't know whatthe max wt capacity is by the manufacturer. The bottom is fabric slung in the frame and would probably give after several uses w/ the type of weight you want to transport. Check out the wheelez site http://www.wheeleez.com/ they have several configurations and would probably be more appropriate. This would be ok for just snorkeling stuff. Good Luck,

Yes, a 20# propane tank will fit under the table and is easily lifted in and out through the side access panel.

I wouldn't try it. My pack weighed 30-35 pounds which I believe exceeds the weight limit for the T-Pack. The wind would most likely play havoc on the rack. It fit perfectly in the rear bucket seat.

A fire wouldn't last long with a 1 lb canister. And you'd need a hose to connect to it so the propane isn't right next to the fire! Yikes! We use the 20 lb. tank with a hose connected to the fire pit. It lasts several nights. So handy to have where wood fires are not allowed.

hi, the bag itself should hold up to 35 pounds, so you should be ok with the oxygen tank and the velcro should be able to hold the tank upright. if not you may have to tie it in place. thanks frank

It works fine with extender hoses made for the purpose. They don't have a regulator but rely on the regulator assembly that comes with the stove. The stove end of the hose simulates the top of a 1# propane tank. The tank end screws onto the tank connector. Another variation connects to a propane tree which connects to the tank. Totally easy, totally safe, designed for that purpose.A 20# tank is not convenient to lug around but lasts a lot longer if you don't have to move it around. There are intermediate size tanks that are a compromise between capacity and weight.

Honestly, the stability of the bag would be determined by the way you have it packed. That said, it stands on end well with an evenly distributed packed contents. Even if it were to topple over there would be no concern due to the excellent padding and construction. The quality of Think Tank bags is beyond belief until you have owned a few (or dozen in my case).

Yes, I use it with a 20lb propane tank, the same as used for a propane grill. You will need to buy a hose that has the correct connection for the stove, and and adapter to connect the hose to the tank.

Yes, and it's very sturdy. The cutout for a large propane tank is nice, but you can use the small tanks also. Nice height.

Yes, you should have no problems mechanically - the fill connections are the same. Remember that 80% of total rank capacity = "full", i.e. it will only take 5 lb of propane.% full = 100 x (GW - 11.1)/5[propane is 4.4 lb/gal]

Absolutely. I use mine with a 20 lb. tank at home and the smaller portable tanks when I'm camping. Works great either /both ways.

Yes it can. The 20 lb tank simply needs to be adequately full. The fuller it is the quicker it will fill the 1 lb cylinder. I would recommend trying to use a 20 lb tank at half full or more just to speed things up. It's important to follow the directions regarding temperature or you will have issues no matter how much you have in the tank since you must have the pressure difference to work well.

The unit is small and light, about 3 pounds, so as long as your portable grill has a solid base I wouldn't imagine it would tip, even fully loaded. I don't know which grill you have, but you could probably counterbalance it with your propane tank, but I doubt it is necessary.

Not sure what the official limit is, but I'd bet it would support the tank just fine. It's quite sturdy.

Yes. This can be connected to a 20lb propane tank using a kit. Also be on the look out for a stand in the next couple of months
