Hey Matt, Victoria here.

NOPE!  I get so tired of these ignorant gas-jockies!  Just go to
another station.  Find a nice mom & pop station with propane, they'll
do it!

just went to a Petro-Can tonight and the guy said he couldn't do it, it
didn't fit.  I advised him that the station does it all the time.  He
fussed and farted around, got it connected while complaining that the
valve was in the wrong place and I should get it fixed ( which I said
that every Westy out there must need that same repair), then continued
and filled it.  He forgot to open the safety valve cause he said there
wasn't one.  As I headed for cover as he put a couple bucks more in
than usual after my complaining he found it.  He said that the pump
would not overfill it...but I am no propane expert.  He was so
unprofessional and grunted and groaned the whole time trying to get it
off.  I will be phoning the station tomorrow.

Am I wrong in this gang...I will eat my words.
