let me spell this out more clearly, the vent did not fall off, it was/is there in tact. She did turn it open a little to see if there was any gas in there which there was not, then she pulled the handle and propane shot out, but I could not see from where as I backed away. Maybe the gasket was missing on the nozzle, or like some said the bleeder valve is bad. I'm going to take it apart
You state LP came OUT. You mean LIQUID came out or LP VAPOR came out? Out of the 80% valve(bleeder) or the fill nozzle area? If the fill nozzle area, then the gasket was missing or not seated. If LIQUID came out of the Bleeder, the tank was FULL. If Vapor came out the Bleeder, that is normal. Regardless, the person filling your LP tank is NOT qualified and should NOT be filling LP tanks, PERIOD. I will assume in your State, there are no regulations that govern LP operations. Doug
