So I recently picked up a new-to-me FWC Eagle :wings:, and last night, filled the close-to-empty propane tank. The guys at the filling station started off filling it vertically (tank standing upright) but decided that for one reason or another, it didn't fill as full as it should have. They then turned it on its side and filled a little more. This was all well and good, until I re-installed the tank in the camper (without plugging it back into the regulator) when I read the label on the top of the tank. "Fill only in the upright position" :Wow1: I've been searching google all morning trying to figure out how to find out if the tank is overfilled, and whether or not I can safely vent any excess.
I understand that the tank needs about 20% room for expansion, and the "fill only in..." tag says that it can be bled by turning the vent valve until white liquid (propane) stops bubbling out, however it doesn't say whether this should be done upright or on its side. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks,
West
