The service station at 36th & 164th.  :-(

I try not to jump on the bandwagon of denigrating people because of language
difficulties (or stubbornness.) but he didn't speak very well, and even the
English words he did say ("I know.") didn't give much indication that he was
really listening as I told him about the release valve on the right and the
fill button on the left.  So after the "I know" he immediately jumped up and
turned the pump on without heeding my instructions, at which point the gas
started coming out of the fixture from underneath the hose connection.  This
has never happened before and now I wonder if turning on the pump without
either releasing the valve or pushing the button has blown out the system.
Any guesses?

Matt

RE: Propane
BTW, who filled your tank and left you with a problem? I want to avoid
them. I've never had a problem with the gas station on 99 that I get my
tank filled at.
