Confusion due to improper nomenclature........Cylinders or Tanks
Propane CYLINDERS.....portable vessels under DOT. Removed for filling (although some places will fill with them on TT tongue)
Should be filled by weight, liquid level bleed valve open until liquid spews then closed/filling stopped
Propane TANKS.......mounted/fixed in position (MHs) under ACME/NPFA.
Filled in place.....but service valve should be closed and all persons/creatures out of MH during filling.
Liquid level Bleed valve should be cracked open during fill (can't weight tank) until liquid spews then closed and filling topped.
Glad District Manager was in the know and informed Store Manager of his misunderstanding.
Hopefully the 'training' will be thorough and employees will take an interest.
