I was looking at Lowe's last night hoping to find an "extension" to get the line down to the ground to operate the 20lb. tank with no luck but I did fine 100lb. tanks for $129 that I may grab at some point to have as a spare since they are the same height as my 100 gallon tank.

Thanks for the replies. I looked at it last night, the connector going into the tank will thread right into the 20lb tank, they're identical. However because it is a "hard" plumbed line there's not a safe way for me to get the line to the 20lb. tank so I'm going to hold off (I'd have to prop the little tank up on something to get it to that height and I don't feel safe doing that). I have a pellet stove and a heat pump that will keep my house in the mid to high 60's until next week.

Apologies in advance if this isn't a good place to ask a question like after browsing threads here for a few minutes this but this forum seemed to have quite a few people knowledgeable in the HVAC field so I figured I'd give it a try: Ok, here's the deal. I have a gas furnace (installed last year) that is converted to run on LP gas (because natural gas is not available in my area). Anyhow, my tank is almost empty and my LP provider won't be bringing me a delivery until next week. Is it possible for me to run it temporarily off of a 20lb. propane tank? If not, is there a way to easily "fill" my larger (100 gallon) tank by transferring from the 20lb. tank a couple of times? I know none of this is ideal, just looking for a solution to keep me running for a few days until I get refilled.
