LP and H2 don't like playing together in a compressed state :-)
once empty, the LP tanks shuld be left wide open, take valve off if you can, for several days. Even when pressure is too low to read there's usually still some left. Leave it in the sun covered with black tarp, the pressure inside will show back up.
Dry inside completely, use a vaccuum pump to evacuate the tank, then store H2. Pretty safe at 100psi.
For very low power systems , mylar ballons can be used, weather ballons if you're making a bunch :-)

As others have said following safety rules keeps eye brows and hearing intact:-)

Cheers
