This is not uncommon. Even at a Flying J where you would think they would be experienced I have had to tell them to open the vent before starting the pump. I never fill my tank unless I carefully watch them doing so.

I had to get the manager involved once when the filler refused to listen to me and filled the tank his way. We had to bleed off a couple of gallons to get the pressure back down to where it should be.

> I was talking to someone that bought their GMC last year. LP tank was low on a cold day. Went to a place to get it filled. Seem that the person over filled the tank. And they didn't know it. As they traveled South into warmer outside temps. The LP didn't have room in the tank to expand. They ended up stopping at another LP fill location to find out why they smelled LP. We too should have some knowledge of the proper procedure. So we can observe that it's done properly each time. As it's our lives on the line here. I always observe during fills. Just never thought that an untrained person would be sent out to do the job. Bob Dunahugh 78 Royale Iowa
