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 don't understand the tanks blowing up. All the valves are designed to vent slowly. Tanks cannot blow up if the valves are operating properly. If they aren't, so be it. If the brakes don't work right on your car, you could die too.
Fires, of course,....vent in or around an open flame, and what do you expect ! ?
And you guys hyped on filling by weights, preach to someone who will listen.
I've has a thousand tanks (call them what you like) filled over 60 yrs, and not a one has ever even had a scale, let alone fill by weight. Yes, I live in Winston OR, and I defy anyone to find a filling station w/ in 50 miles that has a scale.
Besides that, many propane distributors around here will deliver you a large tank, and set it up for do it yourself "gravity fill". And you are not required to go to school to fill, just listen to the little speech when they set it up.
There is even a place in Ca that is a "do it yourself" refill. There too you must listen to the little one time speech, then you are a professional filler.
