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 ...

It cannot be that dangerous to fill propane by something other than weight. You can't weigh the propane in a motorhome tank while filing it. ;)
Our MH LPG tank has a manual screw type vent valve that, when in a vent (filling) position, will spew the liquid propane at 80% full. There is no such feature on any portable LPG bottles that I am aware.
Between grills and RV's, I have more than 10 bottles. All, except one, have a vent screw. I fill them at home, from my 1000 gallon home propane tank. I just open the vent valve, and when it spits out liquid, I shut it off. EXACTLY the way the old ones were designed to work.
