Look and ask to see if the meter is temperature compensated.
Propane is a very expansive liquid, volume changes with temperature, unlike water. thats why DOT bottles are measured in # capacity instead of gallons or litres, & why 80% of volume is the safe fill level for all propane containers.
ASME tanks cannot be weighed,as they are an integral part of the unit so you are dependent on the meter for accurate delivery volume. and the training of the attendant to fill them safely.
