One tank weighed 36 pounds after filled, and one weighed 39 pounds. Empty weight of the tanks was 18 pounds, so one tank had 18 pounds of propane and one had 21.
There's a caution not to fill the tanks above "80% of capacity",
Definitely replace the hoses...easy and inexpensive.
But, interesting that the tanks were, "overfilled."
I thought that the required Overfill Protection Device (OPD) would essentially prevent this.??
