Dave, All good, but you didn't go far enough. WEAR GLOVES. The primary danger of dealing with propane is FROSTBITE. This is a question on the exam for a hot-air balloon pilot's license. I have had my tank filled by one of those folks whose only English is OK. He overfilled the tank so that nothing would work till I vented out a quart or so.

Remember that the whole |assembly will get very cold if you're venting liquid through it, and |the valve might possibly stick because of freezing some moisture on the |stem. | |Yours, |David
