POL and OPD
Filled both POL and large motorfuel Fast Fill tanks in Guat City Teguchigalpa Managua San Jose & Colon back in the seventies. South of the USA external threaded OPD overfill protection device, tanks are non existant. So use these pots filling the POL fitting and drain using the OPD hookup.
Some OPD tanks HATE to be filled down here. One quart an hour fill rate. Entering the country with high pressure propane still in the tank then expecting a low pressure Butane pump to work is a hassle. Drain the tank all the way before trying to fill the first time.
