Can someone explain the procedure for filling it?
We have a gas station near us that can do it, but no one is familiar with the process and they don't seem to know what to do. Is there something to loosen to let out excess? There's a tag on a nut looking thing that says to stop filling when we see liquid. One guy thought we were supposed to loosen that nut. Another guy didn't.
So far we watch the tank gauge and have them turn it off when it gets to full.
How's it supposed to be done?

Next.. TURN OFF tank outlet valve.. Hook up hose (using proper adapter) to the inlet. Open the Visual Overflow Indicator Valve (sometimes called the "Spitter valve") and start pumping till it spits. Stop pump. close valve. releive pressure in adapter and unhook recap and optional open tank valve. Or pull away and open tank valve.. I pull away BEFORE I restore 12 volts to all the "Sparkey Stuff".
NOTE.. Save for turning off all the "Sparkey" Stuff (12 volt disconnect) and the adapter for the fill port.. No different than filling a 20 pound luggable.

At the full level (80%), it begins to discharge liquid, which looks and sounds similar to a CO2 fog from a fire extinguisher. At that point stop filling and close the indicator valve.
I encourage everyone to know the correct process, because you'll meet plenty of workers who've not been trained or don't know the correct method.

Your tank is bolted on...drive the RV to the filling station. They have the long hoses to get to it.
