markwilliam1 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Went to fill my tank today. 1986 Granville. The only way to get propane into the tank was to open the bleeder valve if that’s what it’s called. When the valve was open it expelled lots of propane while the tank was filling up! Strong smell! Finally liquid propane came out the valve indicating a full tank? I don’t remember having the valve expell propane before when opened. Is this normal?

markwilliam1 Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 Thanks Fellas! Had an almost empty tank but took only 8.5 gallons of propane to fill it. Is that normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 The max SAFE capacity of a propane tank is 80%. So a "12 gallon" tank would be full at 9.6 gallons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
