One of the times I had a propane tank filled, the guy used the screw on side of valve and vented tank, basically overfilling it. That tank would not work on my camper until some of the propane was used out of the tank. (I use a larger tank to refill my 1lb. bottles)I do not know if the older regulators are like that.
Using that 'screw' is proper method of filling a propane cylinder.
Screw opens a bleed off tube that is set to 80% level.
When liquid starts to spurt out you close bleed screw & close valve---tank filled to proper 80% level.
