OP........
When you had that cylinder filled did the attendant crack open the bleed valve?
Yes he did
Did attendant fill cylinder via a scale?
No, no scale
Did attendant fill via gallons?
These were partially full, I wanted to top them off for the year.
What I saw him do is to open the vent (er, bleeder valve) and when visible gas comes out they shut it down, not much different than any other refill.
Because I can't remember when most of the tanks I have need to be inspected or they came with the camper we bought a while back I will take them to the Propane company nearby (that also takes care of our fork trucks at work) and methodically have each one checked out.
The OPD 'should have' (BIG SHOULD HAVE) prevented filling of cylinder beyond 80% capacity BUT it didn't. It is stuck OPEN and it's function should be tested next time filled.
Agreed
