This discussion is very interesting. I was told that when they refill a propane tank it is never filled completely; there is always room left for some air. Is this correct? Also that you should regularly bleed your propane tanks of air until a white mist starts coming out. Don’t know if that’s correct either?
Thought I’d mention that I put a small lock on both my propane tanks because I have heard of people stealing propane tanks off an RV while the owner is sleeping or away from their campsite.
Propane vessels are filled to 80% capacity .....that 80% is FULL liquid level
The other 20% propane VAPOR....no air
Bleeder valve has a tube that goes down inside to the 80% Liquid level.
When filling bleeder is cracked opened until liquid spits out indicating liquid level is at 80% mark
NO you do not have to 'vent' air off occasionally as there is NO air in a properly filled propane vessel (cylinder or tank)
