I have seen more and more places stop venting when filling propane tanks. The OPD valve is designed to prevent overfilling. In addition every fill station I have seen uses a scale as an additional check against overfilling due to OPD valve failure.

I fill my own tanks from the large tank at the farm. I open the bleed port and then I use a old bathroom scale to get to the proper weight. I try to err on the side of caution and not get them to full. Since I am not paying for the propane it is not a issue for me.
So How about filling the tanks by weight ?? The empty weight is stamped on to the side of the tank.

The right way is option two. Connect open valve, open bleeder, start pump, when propane comes out of the bleed valve, close vslve, stop pump, close bleed, disconnect. The bleed valve is what is called an 80% valve. It is intended to allow liquid propane out at 80% of tank capacity.

I notice more propane goes in a cylinder if vented the whole time. Especially a fast vent. I like the guy that opens the bleeder at 6.5 gallons to verify when the 7 gallon cylinder is full, a real pro. Of course that works because it is easy to tell the cylinder started empty. A fixed MH tank would be a different story. Still I would prefer a slower bleed.
