Propane tanks should only be filled by qualified propane dealers.
• Most important, propane tanks should be filled no more than 80% of their rated capacity. The
other 20%, which is about 4” (10 cm) from the top of the cylinder, is called the vapor space or

and vent gas to the area around the cylinder. If there is no headspace to allow for fuel expan-
