plastic propane tanks
does anyone here have experience using these types of tanks? http://youtu.be/bLrpsh1nU-0

If the OPD valve works properly, OR the 80% valve is opened, it is unlikely the tank would be overfilled. Around here, they use both, and whichever trips first stops the delivery of propane. Technically, I suppose they should occur at the same time, liquid out of the 80% valve and the OPD shuts off, but that rarely happens.
I haven't had a cylinder filled by weight for many years. It is all by OPD/"spitter valve"(80%valve), and charged out by the metered gallon. Yes, the meter is temperature compensated. Some propane filling stations still have scales, but I don't think they are calibrated and certified for trade by the state. Probably haven't been for years!
I thought about getting a couple of those see-through cylinders, but the cost put a stop to that thought, then the recall came out and I decided perhaps it would be best to wait until the technology has had time to mature.
