I don't believe a word of it.
I been fillin dot cyls for 50 yrs, and I ain't found a place yet in CA or OR, or AZ that even has a scale. Its all done in gallons, or should I say the OPD, or the bleeder valve or both. So what, every filler in 3 states is wrong or illegal, or dangerous ?? Get real.
Most real propane dealers I have used open the bleed port and fill until they get a lot of vapor coming from the port.

That just happened to me when we were on the road the tech opens the bleeder screw and filled the tank till stuff came out!
Didn't seem very safe to me.
Here in NC my 3 local propane distribution sites fill by weight. When the scale hits a certain weight it shuts off the propane flow.
