Westys have permanently mounted tanks. The laws for these are very
different than for BBQ type tanks or any portable tanks.

In any case, I have filled many Westy tanks many times. I have never had
a clerk get down on the ground so far as to closely examine the tank
itself. Once they see the hose port and bleed valve it is all done by
feel from there. I'm sure they see Westy tanks more often around here
than in many other locales.
