Does this 11# tank arrive prepurged?

No it does not. Just let the person filling the tank that it is new and needs to be purged. Its a quick and simple process.

I believe so but I can't recall. I know my gas place purge it just to be sure.

No, the tank I received a few months ago was NOT pre-purged. There was a sticker on the tank that stated it must first be purged.

No, item is ready to fill. I purchased three of these and all were good to go.

Don't know for sure, but try contacting them about your concern. It wouldn't take much to fix the problem, just more packing to keep the tank from sliding back & forth in the box.

the tank is already assembled. The controls are good. Be sure to read the operating instructions before you run the tank to avoid mistakes.I am very happy with my tank .It works very well and I have had many hours of fun with it.

No the tank is delivered empty. I think it has something to do with shipping a dangerous gas under pressure. I don't think any tank will be shipped full. Finding someones to fill them can be a chore. It took a few calls and visits to people who said they could then couldn't fill them.

no, you'll need to buy one; mine is hooked up to the household propane so I didn't need a tank. Plus the cost of shipping a tank is outraegous

The one I got is not any 30 lbs. It has no tank, maybe that's the 30 lbs. one.

Tanks that will be shipped generally are not pre-purged. Often times they are filled with a neutral gas to compensate for the pressure changes related to shipping, and to ensure the inside of the tank does not rust. The Flame King rep below says all NEW tanks are purged which was not the case with the one I received. Cost me $5 to have it purged at Amerigas in North Las Vegas, NV and $17 to fill. Purging a tank with propane, and then shipping with propane vapors inside it would make for a Hazmat shipment. The bottle states re-certification needs to be done every 10 years as well.

I'm pretty sure it is, although I haven't received mine yet - it should be here tomorrow, I think. I'll try to remember to add on to this with a more definitive answer after I receive it.

It should be fine in the box. I have had kits waiting for an empty bucket a couple weeks, no problem.

I bought this tank locally and it did not require purging. The attendant said most new tanks come pre-purged now. The manufacturing date on my tank was 7-13.

Yes it is ( if your facing the tank), the best thing about tank, it comes with "guts" already installed

As others have said, the tank is not pre-purged. I experienced the same problem you had; the first two places I took it, both U-Hauls, said they could purge, but then were unable to. I called on the next one, and the third try, a local propane company, purged and filled the tank without a problem. The tank itself is excellent, with this one startup situation. I recommend that anyone buying this tank call around first to make sure the company can (and knows how to) purge. After the first time, as I'm sure you know by now, purging is no longer necessary.
