The new tanks auto shut off at 80%. You can't "fill" them.

Chris;
be careful if you ever swap tanks as ready filled tanks (i think one
company was Rhino or something) and not filled all the way and have been
sometimes found to be about 3/4 full (if that) - something i never knew
or thought of before
I didn't think of that, either... my cousin, who owns two houses near
me, terminated his Natural Gas, and has substituted, store bought
propane, now. I think he switched over to Propane because of the
$11.05 monthly 'Customer Charge' that had to be paid, along with the
regular bill... so he switched to propane.... he told me that there is a
propane filling store near my house, and the cost of a refill is about
$10 for a 20 pound, tank.
Recently, after he saw my PV panels, he acquired some panels of
his own... he has always been technically inclined, and is on a similar
path.... I have been meaning to go over to his house and see his Propane
and PV setup.
I will be alert to short filled propane tanks if I exchange my old tank
for a new, refurbished tank...
