This is not permanently at tank pressure, is it?
I mean, if the hose is ripped in an accident, the tank contents cannot escape via the connected hose used to fill it? I’m assuming it has a check valve at the tank end fitting. Just checking before I accidentally blow a suburb off the map this weekend. |

Correct. Tank has a fill valve inside it. That's the valve that shuts off when the tank is full via a float. It is a check valve.
The fill point also has a check valve that will hold pressure in the line. It can be bled off by pushing the centre bit in with a screwdriver to release the pipe pressure. Where gloves when you do this as it will freeze burn your pinkys |

Thank you. I was uncomfortable just “assuming”, considering the tank I need to remove is still holding about 15-20 litres of gas.

Actually, it was a successful release of line pressure with the hints from here.
 Tank now strapped into my ute for dropping at West End LPG tomorrow.
