2. Your comments just show that just because YOU have had POOR and dangerous filling practices does NOT make YOU an expert on LP systems.
3. The ONLY time you will vent liquid or vapor is when you disconnect and that amount is negligible. It disperses rapidly in the air and does not reach the proper LP/Air mix to cause an ignition source
4. The venting of Vapor while filling from the 80 percent valve is WHY, you do NOT have an LP filling station close to any other ignition sources(ASME Motorhome tank), and why you turn the tank valve OFF and have the appliances OFF.
5. People like you will beat a dead horse because you really have no knowledge of what you are talking about. You just THINK you know everything. Doug
So we have another CERTIFIED who doesn't open bleeding valve when filling up cylinders?
Reread item #4.....80% valve---'bleeder valve'
Liquid Level Valve etc.
Venting of Vapor until liquid spews then cylinder/tank is FULL
