Yup, I like MAMalody's math for the propane itself. That sounds about right for 30# tanks.

But in Rich's math he includes the weight of the metal propane bottle and the valve and other hardware. Have you lifted an empty 30# propane bottle? It's pretty heavy and is designed to carry 30# of propane weight plus the bottle. There you go. Probably weighs 55#.
