Ours have always been filled by the "bleeder valve" method. When the bleeder starts spewing, they shut off the fill and charge me by the gallon and tenth of a gallon as indicated on the meter. (example: 4.2 gallons @ $2.49 per gallon = $10.46)
Simple enough and works for me.
I think this is the standard in the NW, I have had 7.1 gallons put into an empty tank. I will typically top off the tanks after a trip of more than a couple days, and we only get charged for the amount dispensed.
