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 just did something really dumb a few weeks ago.
Had a new 20 lb tank refilled for the 2nd time. I put it in my TT for the trip to transport it. I use this tank for a patio heater. I didn't take it out right away when I arrived at camp, instead I put on the heater, which was blowing on the tank.
A few minutes later the wife tells me the tank is leaking. Holly #$@$%
It really scared me!
If she wouldn't have been in there to catch the leak right away...I'm sure there would have been an explosion. I was probably stuipd for going in and pulling the tank out, but I did.
The tank cooled outside and stopped venting, then we used up a few gallons with the pation heater.
Close call....and many lessons learned.:S
Now I continue to worry is the tank still good?
