    Years ago, when working as industrial mechanic - filling up forklifts with propane was part of my job.
    I was given 5 minutes training for the procedure.
    Reading the parallel topic - the attendants filling propane at some stations did not get even the 5 minutes.
    I think the hardest part of the job is removing the cylinder from RV.
    Once you get it out - the rest is easy till you have to put it back.


    Working for an independent utility company I didn't need a 'Stationary Engineers License' to operate high pressure boilers and associated turbines/generators
    Working for 'city' at one of their power plants doing the EXACT same job I was required to hold a license.

    You were not filling 'John Q Publics' propane cylinders

    Read an article that the new Menards being built in my town will have a self serve LPG filling island in the parking lot. The article described it as if you will connect and fill your own cylinders.

    Ever see one? I haven't.


    How about a link to that article?

    Per Menards Wesites
    Menards® is your one-stop shop for all outdoor get-togethers!

    In addition to a variety of grilling supplies, you can also pick up the propane you need for your gas-powered grill. Menards® stores offer either a Propane Fueling Station or a Self-Serve Propane Kiosk, making it easy for you to fill up your tank. Visit one of our stores with a Propane Fueling Station, and one of our friendly Team Members will fill up your tank for you. If your local Menards® store doesn't have a Propane Fueling Station, it will have a Self-Serve Propane Kiosk located in front of the store. This quick and easy-to-use machine allows you to get the propane you need, anytime you need it!

    Menard's? They just can't be that suicidal.
  • No way. Whoever wrote it probably didn't understand. It's probably a cylinder exchange.

    If true it will sure make some good YouTube material
