A 20lb propane tank is a 4.7 gallon container. If you put 20lbs of propane at 4.11lbs per gallon, in it it would be full to the brim.
Watching the meter, I don't think I've EVER seen a tank accept more than 4.5 gallons before the valve starts to blow off gas. Most times the screw gets turned at 4.25 to 4.5. This is why I always take a couple tanks to the place near my house with the 5 gallon minimum charge. So, I'm pretty much in agreement with what you said.
