Propane overfill by a "professional"
Looks like I'll be shopping for a new local propane guy. Which I should have already done, but there's only one last straw. I took one of my 30# cylinders down to fill from dead empty. This genius ...

I had a couple of 20lb tanks filled a few weeks back that I use at a friend's home patio for a bit of heat when we are sitting out in cooler weather. I always transport these to the fill station laying down in the back of my pickup. After they were full the guy told me that they must leave his store in the vertical position or he would confiscate them. He said after I left his lot he didn't care, but one of their other locations got a $10,000.00 fine for allowing a portable tank to leave horizontal. I looked on the label and sure enough, there is the info.
I can imagine the scene if a "good ole boy" had his tank confiscated. The police would be called I'm sure.
I just loaded mine vertical and left. I can see a problem with the 100 lb tanks due to their size. Vertical would have to be tied very tightly in order to travel.
