Be careful here, some service stations will overfill your tank. Until you get a handle on how much it will hold I would only put in 2 dollars of LP the 1st time (if it is truly empty). Overfilling your tank can cause some minor problems operating the fridge (in my experience). I don't think that two many people will agree with me, but I have a theory about overfilled tanks and their casual impact on fridge operation. It wont hurt to just put in a little and not more than 80%. Most idiots that fill these tanks will shut off the gas after it has reached the recommended 80% level.
