There is a rubber ring inside the connector with a plastic cap. The threads are fine, he was an older gentleman and struggled to get the connector on but I did it in seconds.
He did open a little valve when filling for a bit. It's dark now so I went out with a flashlight and could really smell it towards the front and as I got to it. I only spent about 2 minutes because its so strong I started feeling dizzy. The bleeder valve wasn't loose but it could have been tighter so I gave it as much as my hand could do in that time. The smell is really strong though and I am concerned. I can wear a mask tomorrow to inspect further. Should I run a hose over the tank and look for bubbles? If I do find it leaking from somewhere should I drive it and can they remove the propane so that I can fix the leak? I don't know what to do.
