THIS is not exactly true.  Propane tanks with a bleeder valve will purge themselves automatically when being filled.  When Propane enters the tank when filling any air in the tank escapes out the bleeder valve, when only propane is coming out the bleeder valve the tank is 80% full, has been purged and now it’s time to stop filling and shut the bleeder valve.

      Please note that I will be away from my business travelling from December 01 until April 30, 2017.  Parts orders will be processed although not as quickly as usual.  I will always be available for contact by E-mail.  If you phone your call will be addressed by Steven and he will either call you back or advise you to contact me directly by E-mail.  

Cheers,
