Hey Matt, Victoria here.

NOPE! I get so tired of these ignorant gas-jockies! Just go to another station. Find a nice mom & pop station with propane, they'll do it!

just went to a Petro-Can tonight and the guy said he couldn't do it, it didn't fit. I advised him that the station does it all the time. He fussed and farted around, got it connected while complaining that the valve was in the wrong place and I should get it fixed ( which I said that every Westy out there must need that same repair), then continued and filled it. He forgot to open the safety valve cause he said there wasn't one. As I headed for cover as he put a couple bucks more in than usual after my complaining he found it. He said that the pump would not overfill it...but I am no propane expert. He was so unprofessional and grunted and groaned the whole time trying to get it off. I will be phoning the station tomorrow.

Am I wrong in this gang...I will eat my words.
