Propane weight
Hey... tried to use the search feature... didn't find much... just had a 30 lb. tank filled... guy charged me for 7.8 gallons. I've been thinking all along that there were 7.1 gallons in a 30 pounder ...

If you think his equipment is faulty, file a formal complaint with your state's Weights and Measures. They have to get their equipment certified as does everyone selling measured quantities of a product, and a complaint will be sure your dispenser gets a good look next time it's his turn. Also, to be sure your OPD on your tank is not malfunctioning, put it on a scale. Full weight is stamped on the bottle neck.
Good point... I did not watch the operator fill the tank, I had gone into the office to pay. Told the clerk a 30 lb / 7.1 gal... she op to wait for the fill guy to come in and say how many gallons. When he said 7.8 gallons I commented about thinking 7.1 was all that could be added to that size tank... he stated, "if filled slow more gas could be put in the tank". Think I'll take the tank back tomarrow and have them reweigh it. I do not want to travel with a defective or overfilled tank... Thanks for the suggestions.
