What is the standard set psi in a small one time use propane tank?? i just tested my propane meter, and when i opened the first valve, the psi gauge shot up to like 100psi..is this right?

no your gauge is broken, propane is stored in a vacuum for the most efficiency.
/sarcasm.
Propane is usually inbetween 90 psi and sometimes over 100 depending on the temperature.

The pressure depends on the temperature, usually the vapor pressure is between 130-200 psi from 73 degrees f to 120 degrees.
