Thanks folks,

        I am not concerned about the amount they billed for but just wanted to know what to tell future folks that might fill my tank. It sounds like about 2.5 gallons for a completely empty tank is about right.  
  

hopefully the new set up will be easier for folks filling the propane to figure out then the old one was.  Also, I have more confidence with the new filler, shut off, regulator, and 20percent valve. 

It is nice being able to turn on the propane and not hearing it leak as I turn from off to full on, and back again,  as the old set up did.
