The RV campground where I get my propane cylinders filled, charges by the gallon. The other day I decided to top off one of my cylinders. Had not bought any since I got the trailer new in June.
As it turned out, it didn't need much, just 3.5 gallons.
I've never had any problem with any of the guys who fill the cylinders. They hook up the nozzle, open the bleeder valve, and start pumping. When the gas starts coming out the bleeder valve, the pump is shut off, bleeder valve closed, and I get my ticket with the number of gallons pumped into the cylinder. I pay at the office and then go home.
