Dangerous but yes.

Get the right fitting for both tanks and a high pressure lp line fitted with
them.  Connect tanks and turn the one upside down.  Open bleed valve until
you see liquid.
DonΉt drop tank
DonΉt kink hose
DonΉt create spark
DonΉt smoke
DonΉt operate any electrical items

And other stupid human tricks that may not look stupid at the moment.
Like creating static sparks.

Planned insanity is best.
Remember that sanity is optional.
