I'll be hornswoggled. Maybe I have been running into more than my share of inexperienced or incompetent propane tank attendants. It doesn't seem to be a standard fitting to some of the folk that fill my tank.

The copy for a manual replacement propane fill valve at http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=426729 states that "...propane tank attendants actually know how to use the manual filling valve---a big bonus."

Yeah -- a big bonus the next time some propane jockey spends 10 minutes trying to figure out how to put LPG into the tank.
