Propane Tank Capacity? (84FC35SB)

[Gardner Yeaw]

I know my '78 is a 45 gallon tank, but you can only fill it to 80%
maximum, which would be 36 gallons. Basicaly they open up the
overflow valve and fill till liquid propane comes out, that is the
limit.
If you are running out of propane and you can only get 20 gallons
in, then something else is taking up space in the tank, like water. I
found green goop coming out of my tank. This probably years of
condensation and Lord knows what else from the many places the tank
was filled in the past.

I basicly took off the regulator and purged what was in the lines,
but haven't actually drained the tank yet, since it has lots of
propane in it.
