Volks, Still having a problem getting the LP tanks filled. I did have the little bleed off valve open all the way. The tanks still won't take propane. Here the sequence I've been using for filling, 1. Have them attach their fill hose. 2. Have them turn their pump on, but not open the valve on the fill hose. 3. I then open the bleed off value all the way on my tank. 4. Have them open the fill valve on their hose. Result ..... Will not take any propane. I then have tried, 5. Pushing on the auto stop reset/release valve under the little rubber cap on the plug thing to the left of my fill port. No luck. Maybe I'm not pushing hard enough???? It's really weird. I have a dual tank set up with identical tanks and values that were installed 4-6 weeks ago. Both tanks were properly purged during the first fill and have been refilled approx 3-4 times before this problem. I'm kinda stumped and very low on propane.
