I took the cylinder to the local Ferrellgas dealer, and they came to the same conclusion: Bad valve.

I would think yours would have a label, or possibly stamped in the top ring what the filling orientation is. The relief screw could have its own dip tube that is intended to show an 80% fill when the cylinder is vertical.

I went back out and looked and you are 100% correct.

Iโm guessing your old cylinders have to be filled horizontally?

They fill them in the vertical position.
Now that you ask, I wonder if that's right way to fill them. :? :B

Specta, it looks like you have one of those old pre-OPD horizontals. Notice how the valve is sitting dead center in the tank end, and the valve handle is not the 3-corner style. There must be an internal dip tube that curves up into the vapor area of the cylinder. For that reason, there wonโt be an OPD style valve available for that one. You may still be able to replace the valve with the same style and continue using the cylinder if itโs in good shape. Iโm not sure what the rules say about revalving an older horizontal.
On the newer cylinder, the valve is offset from center, so itโs in the vapor area.

From what I read before, horizontal tanks had different rules regarding certifications. If I remember right, they didnโt need the newer type valves, but if you tank them out, I suppose they are vertical. ๐
They are usually found permanently mounted in Class As and some Class Cs. I think there are only a few older TCs that use horizontal tanks, but Iโm sure people will point it out if Iโm wrong. ๐
