Propane - when is a fill a true fill
Over the years (12) I have had my propane tanks filled using two methods to determine when the tank is full, by weight using a scale and the second filling until propane escapes from a bleeder valve. ...

I know that what i do for a living is nothing like filling a propane tank, but but what I do fill the liquid Nitrogen,Argon,Oxygen but mostly I do liquid Hydrogen tanks that many industry use.
Now everone of these tanks have what we call a full try cock valve. At the start of the delivery open this valve up and when the gas truns to a liquid we then know that the tank is full. The liquid hydrogen is set up a bit differnt than the lin lox or lar but it works mostly the same way.
Now if that purge on a proprane tank is indeed a full try cock valve, the correct way to fill it would be to open it and wait till the liquid comes out. Any other way may just be over filling the tank.
